Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, not laid down, attached to the mount at the centre of the lower edge and floating in the overmount. There is a horizontal crease running across the sheet, probably from when the work was folded in two by the artist. The left and upper edges are deckled and the lower edge is unevenly cut. There are a few spots of staining to the left of the chair top and in places to the edges. There are a few tiny nicks and tears to the extreme edges. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
