Condition

Not viewed out of the frame. The sheet appears to be affixed in several places to the backing board. The sheet undulates very slightly in places, but otherwise appears sound. There are several soft creases and handling marks, most apparent towards the right edge of the sheet, including a possible very small repaired tear in the upper right quadrant. There are one or two light spots of surface dirt. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition. The work is float mounted and presented in a gilt wooden frame, held under perspex. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
