Condition
The sheet has been fully laid down onto board. There are several pinholes around the edges of the sheet, which appear inkeeping with the artist's working method. There are one or two very soft creases to the sheet in the bottom left and right corners, only visible upon very close inspection. In one or two areas, there is some rubbing to the sheet, which has resulted in some extremely tiny spots of loss, most apparent towards the centre of the sheet. There is some very light surface dirt and one or two traces of very minor studio detritus. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in good overall condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals no obvious signs of fluorescence or retouching.
The work is presented in an ornate gilt frame.
