Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount in two places along the upper edge, and floating in the window mount. The sheet is slightly time-stained. All four edges of the sheet are deckled. There are some small, scattered areas of pale discolouration, possibly related to historic restoration of small areas of paper skinning. This work is in overall good condition.
