Condition

Support The work is executed on a cream, thick, wove-type, machine made paper which at present is inlaid into a thin, brown card mount with paper tapes. This mount is stained in places and the restrictions put on the sheet by the inlay is causing some undulations in the sheet. All corners and the centre of each side show some glue staining and there is a small liquid stain lower left. There is a small fly mark towards the centre and a few other small surface marks. Otherwise the condition is good. Medium The ink and coloured pencil medium is in a very good condition.
