There is a very slight, possible tear to the extreme top edge, appearing c.4in. from the left corner, and a further slight paper indentation just below the pillow. There are one or two very slight flecks of surface matter to the sheet, but this excepting the work appears in excellent overall condition. Housed in a silver wood frame, float-mounted within a cream card mount, behind glass. Unexamined out of frame.
