Condition
The sheet is affixed to the mount with two tabs along the upper horizontal edge. The sheet appears sound. There is a small scuff to the sheet in the upper left quadrant, with an associated tear measuring approximately 1cm. There is a horizontal crease running the width of the sheet in the lower half of the work. There are some very small soft creases in the sheet, most apparent in the lower third of the work. The sheet undulates very slightly in the upper left corner. There is some staining to the sheet, most likely as a result of a previous acidic mount, most apparent around the extreme edges of the sheet. There is an extremely tiny fleck of surface dirt to the centre right of the table. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in overall good condition.
The work is window-mounted and housed in a simple wooden frame, held under glass.
