Condition
The sheet has been affixed to the mount with two tabs along the upper horizontal edge. The sheet undulates very slightly, but otherwise appears sound. The lower horizontal and left vertical edges are uneven, thought to be inkeeping with the artist's working method, and only visible when viewed unframed. There is some discolouration around the edges of the sheet, most likely due to a previous acidic mount, most of which is only visible when viewed unframed. There are one or two extremely minor spots of foxing, and the sheet is very slightly discoloured. Subject to the above, the work is in good overall condition.
The work is window mounted and presented in a simple painted wooden frame, housed under glass.
