Condition
The board is stable with a burnt hole that is intrinsic to the artist's intention. There is a thin line of transparent tape running round all four edges. There are nailhead-sized spots of board skinning at intermittent intervals to the left, right and upper edges. Apart from some creasing to the upper right corner, some staining to the left of the upper edge and some spots of medium loss, one towards the lower left corner and a few towards to lower right corner, this work is in good condition.
