Condition
There are pin holes visible in all four corners. The sheet is not laid down, but is adhered to a card support mount at the extreme edges. There are deckled edges throughout.
There are signs of staining and discolouration to the unpainted areas of the sheet, and to the extreme top edge, most probably in line with some glue residue. There is minor surface dirt and traces of light studio detritus visible upon close inspection, but this excepting the work appears in good overall condition.
Housed behind glass in a thin gilt frame, set within a black card mount.
