Condition
The sheet does not appear fully laid down, but is adhered to a backing card in a few places along the extreme edge. The upper edge is evenly torn and there is slight cockling throughout the sheet. Pin holes are apparent to the right and top left corners, visible in the present float-mount.
There are very minor instances of studio detritus to the sheet, with very slight spots of staining. There is a minor crease approximately 2 in. in length to the top right hand quadrant, which is inherent to the work, with one or two extremely minor creases appearing elsewhere to the sheet. This excepting the work appears to be in very good condition with bright, vivid colours throughout.
Housed behind glass within a thin wooden frame and float-mounted within a cream mount.
