Condition
Not examined out of the frame. The sheet appears to be attached to a supporting board at points along the underside. There are some very minor knocks to the extreme edges of the sheet. On very close examination it is possible to see a tiny fleck of loss in the dark pigment in the bottom right quadrant and some light surface dirt and studio detritus. With the exception of the above the work appears to be in very good overall condition.
The work is float mounted and held behind glass in a square profile oak frame.
