Condition Report:
Executed on cream laid paper, laid down on a sheet of card, which is attached to the mount intermittently along all four edges, and floating in the overmount. The sheet is slightly time-stained and there is some wear to parts of the edges, including tiny nicks, minor abrasions, and creasing, most prominently to the upper left corner where there are also some small repaired tears (though away from the signature and date). There are a few extremely fine surface scratches in places and a few very tiny paint losses. This work is in overall good condition.
