Condition

Please note that this work is framed and the paper has not been laid down. The lower edge of the work appears to be rough cut. The other three edges appear to be cut. There appear to be areas where the black watercolour extends to the paper backing which appears to be contemporary to the creation of the work and the artists intent. The paper exhibits some very minor undulation. There also appear to be three minor tears within the upper quadrant of the work. Upon close inspection, there also appears to be some minor wrinkling to the upper edge of the paper. There also appears to be some slight discolouring to the edges, which is to be expected with age. Overall, the work is in very good condition. Please note this work has not been examined outside of its frame.
