Condition
Executed on embroidered cloth, laid down on card and floating in the overmount. All four edges are unevenly cut. There is a thin tear to the fabric to the centre of the left edge (approx. 1.5cm.), a small hole to the lower right corner and some further light fraying to the centre top of the embroidered section. There is some undulation to the fabric, inherent to the artist's process. This work is in overall good condition.
