Condition
The sheet appears to have been partially adhered to a supporting board. The sheet appears sound. The sheet has an uneven edge, and several pinholes at each of the corners, which appear inkeeping with the artist's working method. There are several creases to the sheet, most apparent along the lower horizontal edge. There is some discolouration around the edges of the sheet, and the sheet also appears to be slightly stained, most likely as a result of exposure to ultraviolet light. There are a few small scattered spots of foxing. There are some losses to the gouache in areas.
The work is floated in a window mount, and housed in a painted wooden frame, under glass.
