Condition
Executed on cream wove paper and laid down. The left and right edges are deckled and the lower edge is slightly unevenly cut. There is an old vertical mark towards the lower part of the left edge approx 6cm, which is probably from the artist's studio. There are some very minor spots of foxing. This work is in overall good condition.
