Condition

The sheet has not been laid down, and is hinged to the glass at the extreme upper left and right corners. There is a minor, faint circa 4cm horizontal crease at the upper part of the left edge and a few very minor tiny scattered spots of foxing (visible in the catalogue illustration in the body of the nude seated on the deer). This work is in good original condition and ready to hang. Held in an elaborate gilt 'architectural' frame, with columns at the left and right edges, under glass. The colours are subtlter in reality than in the catalogue illustration.
