The sheet is sound and undulates slightly. The sheet is not laid down but appears to be adhered to the mount in a few places along the edges. The work is in generally very good original condition with strong bright colours throughout. There is a tiny fleck of loss in the upper left corner, and some extremely minor discolouration visible about the extreme edges, presumably the result of a previous mounting. Held under glass and float mounted in a wood frame with a linen slip. Unexamined out of frame. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
