Condition
The sheet is sound. It does not appear to be laid down but adhered to the mount in one or two places about the edges. The corners are lifting very slightly and there are two very tiny, old tears to the upper edge that have been sensitively repaired. The sheet cockles slightly and there is a faint horizontal crease across the centre; otherwise the work appears in good overall condition.
Held under glass in a simple wood frame with a cream mount; unexamined out of frame.
