Unexamined out of frame. The sheet does not appear fully laid down, but is at least partially adhered to a backing board via hinge strips at the corners. There is an old 7cm. tear to the centre of the bottom edge, running into the Pilot's foot. There are a few scattered soft creases to the sheet, including one to the lower right leg, and a further to the centre of the left hand edge. There are minor traces of surface dirt and tiny specks of staining visible upon very close inspection, but this excepting the work appears in good overall condition. Housed behind Perspex in a white wooden frame, float-mounted against a white backing card. Unexamined out of frame.
