Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to the mount in all four corners and floating in its mount. The sheet is gently undulating due to the application of medium. The sheet is slightly time-stained and has minor discolouration to all four edges. There are some faint spots of foxing visible to the light green pigment to the far left of the composition and some handling marks along the right edge. This work is in overall good condition.
