Condition

Executed on white laid card, not laid down, floating in the mount, fixed in the corners. The upper and right edges are inherently irregular with associated scuffing and a 2cm horizontal nick to the lower part of the right edge. There is some minor creasing to the lower left corner. A tiny red media mark in the lower left appears to be integral to the composition. Apart from three very minor light brown stains in the upper left, this work is in very good original condition.
