Condition
Not examined out of the frame. The sheet is attached to a supporting board at points around the edges. The edges of the sheet are uneven which appears to be in keeping with the artist's working materials. The sheet is slightly cockled and there is some very mild discolouration. On extremely close examination it is possible to see some very minor rubbing to the upper corners and some traces of surface dirt. With the exception of the above the work appears to be in good condition.
The work is float mounted in a white box frame.
