Condition
The sheet is taped into a window mount along the upper horizontal edge. The sheet undulates very slightly. There is residue from old adhesive tape along the lower horizontal edge on the reverse of the sheet. There are pin holes in each of the four corners. When the work is mounted only one of these is visible at the extreme lower right corner. There are some small creases towards the edges of the sheet, including but not limited to, one at the centre of the left vertical edge, one at the centre of the right vertical edge and another at the left of the lower horizontal edge. On extremely close examination it is possible to see some tiny flecks of paint loss in the black pigment particularly towards the lower right edge and a diagonal scuff at the lower left corner. Subject to the above the work appears to be in extremely good and original condition and the pigments are bright and fresh.
The work is presented in a window mount and painted black frame.
