Condition
The sheet is not laid down and appears to be in excellent original condition. Light smudges around the outside of the sheet are most likely to have occurred in the artist's studio and the work otherwise remains fresh and vibrant with no obvious signs of any recent deterioration.
Presented behind glass, floated against a brown canvas mount within a simple box frame in relatively poor condition. The work would benefit greatly from re-presentation.
