Condition
The sheet is very slightly raised in the centre and appears to be laid onto a backing sheet, which is attached intermittently to the mount at the edges. There is a very minor tear at the lower edge of the sheet between the letters G and S of the signature, and a faint, horizontal crease between the figure's knee and the right-hand edge. Otherwise this work is in good condition.
Presented framed and glazed, the edges of the sheet visible and not covered by the mat.
