Condition
Paper laid down on board. The board is stable and all four corners are rounded. All four extreme edges are slightly scuffed. There is a tiny spot of paper loss towards the centre of the upper edge and some very fine lines of paint shrinkage predominantly to the white pigment. There is a loose fibre to the paper towards the centre of the right edge, inherent to the artist's process. This work is in overall good condition.
