Very good original untouched condition, with no faults noted, some undulation of the paper so not laid down, very bright strong colours with some degree of impasto where the thick gouache has been used, this has resulted in some very fine but stable crazing running through the dark yellow gouache paint and also in some areas where thick black ink have been used where equally it is crazing a little. Signed just left of 6 o'clock, dated and titled lower right, in a fabric covered mount and slim gilt frame. Bohun Gallery label verso.
