Condition

The sheet is not laid down. The work appears to be in lovely fresh original condition, the sheet clean and the colours remaining vibrant. A short 1 in scratch in the blue area upper centre is most likely to have occurred in the studio. Presented floated against a fabric mount in the original gilt wood frame. The glass needs cleaning but the work is otherwise ready to hang. Please note that the blues are more vibrant in the original than they appear in the catalogue photograph.
