Condition

Examined unglazed, the sheet is in good condtion, with no tears or scuffs. The artist's sheet has been hinged to a mount which is itself glued to and covered by the beige mount, making inspection of the un-mounted paper impossible. Apart from some yellowing of the sheet with age (visible in the catalogue illustration), and some dark stains to the left of the composition, the work is overall in good condition, with blues which are slightly more vibrant than in the catalogue illustration. The work is ready to hang. Presented glazed, in a narrow frame.
