Condition
Not examined out of the frame. The sheet appears to be attached to a supporting board. The edges are uneven which is in keeping with the artist's work materials. There are also three pinholes along the upper edge of the work which are also the result of the artist's working method. On extremely close examination there are some traces of surface dirt scattered across the piece. Overall the work appears to be in excellent and original condition.
The work is float mounted and presented in a stained grey wooden frame.
