Condition
The sheet is affixed to the mount with one tab along the upper horizontal edge. There is some tape from a previous mount apparent along the right and upper edges of the reverse of the sheet, and a small section on the front of the lower right edge, only visible when viewed out of the frame. The sheet undulates slightly but otherwise appears sound. There is a very soft crease towards the upper left corner. There is discolourationand staining to the sheet, particularly around the edges, and some fading to the pigments. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in good overall condition.
The work is window mounted and presented in a gilt wooden frame, held under glass.
