The upper and right edges are unevenly torn, the left and lower edges unevenly cut. There is a flattened vertical crease to the lower centre of the sheet. This work is in overall very good condition. c. Executed on white Japan paper and hinged to the mount in two places along the upper edge. The upper edge is unevenly torn and the other three edges unevenly cut. There are some faint flattened creases consistent with age and handling. There are tiny pinprick sized holes to the sheet possibly inherent, only visible upon very close inspection. There is some faint smudging to the horse's head possibly caused by the artist's process.
