Condition
The sheet is not fully laid down, but is adhered to the mount card via two hinges at the top edge.
There is a fine line of time staining to the extreme edges of the sheet, not visible in the present mount. There are two very tiny, minor spots of studio matter or detritus, the first to the centre of the top unpainted area, and the second just to the left of the top of the painted square. These are only noticeable upon extremely close inspection, and do not detract from the overall appearance of the work, which excepting is in excellent overall condition.
Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present lot.
