Condition
It has not been possible to see the work entirely unframed. Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, affixed to the overmount with tape along the extreme edges. Examination under UV light reveals no evidence of retouching. There is a pinhole, with associated foxing, to the centre of the left edge. There is some glue and paper remnants along the lower edge, probably from a previous mounting. There is a small flattened crease (approx. 3 cm long) towards the centre of the left edge. The sheet is light stained with a few scattered small dots of foxing. This work is in overall good condition.
