Condition

There is a very tiny tear at the upper left edge, and a very small crease to the tip of the lower left corner. There is some light surface dirt and studio detritus in places. This is most apparent to the extreme edges, and there is also some slight staining at the right vertical edge, not visible in the present mount. There may be some slight discolouration to the sheet. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition. The work is window mounted and presented in a simple wooden frame, held under glass.
