Condition
Unexamined out of the frame, but the whole sheet is visible in the frame. The sheet is attached to the artist's original backboard on all sides. The two marks in the lower right section of the sheet look deliberate and are in keeping with the artist's technique. In raking light, soft handling creases are visible, but these do not detract from the image and are again in keeping with the artist's technique, or working the surface even with works on paper. The edges of the sheet are in very good condition.
The work is float mounted on to the Artist's original board, housed in the original wooden frame, held under glass.
Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
