Condition
The sheet has been laid down onto the backboard. When the passepartout is removed old tears are visible in the extreme upper left and right corners, however these are normally covered by the passepartout and are not visible in the catalogue illustration. As visible in the catalogue illustration there are some small scattered spots of foxing visible primarily in the sky, and the sheet has yellowed slightly over time.
This work is sold unframed and is presented in a loaner frame during the pre-sale exhibition.
