Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down and hinged to the mount in two places along the upper edge. The sheet is lightly time stained and there are some very minor spots of foxing. There is a flattened crease to the right of the sheet and an artist's pinhole to the upper right corner. There are some losses to the sheet at the extreme edges and two tears to the left edge measuring approx 2cm., these have all been supported by tape applied to the verso and which are not visible when framed. Overall this work is in fairly good condition.
