Condition
There are three thin passages of craquelure within the lower right quadrant, these appear to have been caused by an impact to the reverse. The surface of the paint within the black tower and towards the lower edge is beginning to crack. There are minor surface scratches within the upper left, and lower left and right quadrants. There are patches of staining on the surface of the work towards the centre of the right edge, probably caused by liquid. The edges of the work are worn and scuffed. The suface of the work is dirty and would benefit from a professional clean. The work is unframed.
