Condition

The card is formed of a sheet that has been folded in two, and the reverse of this has been adhered in several places to a backing card. The inner edges of the card have also been adhered to each other at both the upper and lower right edges. The card appears sound. There is some very slight rounding apparent at the bottom right corners of the card. There are some light specks of surface dirt and studio detritus, but subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition. The work is float mounted and presented in a simple white painted wooden frame, held under glass.
