Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is attached to the mount along the verso of the upper edge. There are artist's pinholes to all four corners which are not visible when framed. The sheet is lightly time-stained. There is some further discolouration to the extreme edges, possibly caused by a former mount, and some faint spots of foxing in the background, notably towards the right edge. This work is in overall good condition.
