Condition
STRUCTURE
The sheet has not been laid down. The work is in good overall condition with no apparent signs of staining and strong colours throughout.
Examination of the sheet beneath the mount reveals a loss along the upper edge, a horizontal tear with a small hole above the lower edge, and a small hole near the right edge. These are under the mount and therefore are not visible and do not affect the composition itself.
Held under glass in a gilt plaster frame with a grey mount.
