Condition

Not viewed out of the frame. The sheet appears to be adhered to a backing card in several places around the edges. The sheet undulates slightly but otherwise appears sound. The sheet has a deckled edge, and there is minor evidence of old adhesive to the edges. There are one or two very slight creases apparent at both of the lower corners. There is a light scratch just above the centre of the lower horizontal edge. There are two tiny specks of paper adhered to the sheet above the sun. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition. The work is float mounted and presented in a dark wooden frame, held under glass. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
