Condition

The sheet appears at least partially adhered to a backing support, but not fully laid down. There are deckled edges throughout, and a watermark visible in the bottom left corner, in keeping with the nature of the artist's materials and techniques.
There is a tiny fleck of very minor loss to the grey pigment in the upper left quadrant, only visible upon extremely close inspection, but this excepting the work appears in excellent overall condition, with bright, vivid colours throughout.
Housed behind glass in a thick white wooden frame, float-mounted against a white backing. Unexamined out of frame.
