Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, and hinged to the mount in two places along the upper edge. The sheet is perforated on the left edge (with five untorn oblong-shaped holes) relating to the fact that the work has been removed from a sketchbook. The upper and right edges are deckled. There is some minor mount-staining to the very extreme edges, not visible when framed. This work is in overall very good condition.
