Condition
The sheet is fully laid down onto backing card. The sheet appears sound. The right and lower edges of the sheet are slightly uneven, and there are pinholes in each of the four corners, thought to be inkeeping with the artist's working method. There are some very fine lines of craquelure apparent to the thicker areas of gouache, and there is one very small loss to one of the pink spots of gouache towards the upper horizontal edge. There is also some craquelure and two small spots of loss to the black ink towards the right vertical edge. There are one or two spots of light foxing, and a spot of discolouration towards the right of the upper horizontal edge. There is some light surface dirt across the work and some traces of adhesive around the edges, most likely from when the work was laid down. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in good overall condition, with fresh and vivid colours throughout.
The work is window mounted and presented in a simple light wooden frame, held under glass.
