Condition
The work is executed on the very thin tracing style paper. There is cockling and creasing throughout the sheet, however, this is inherent to the medium chosen by the artist. The sheet edges are uneven and these are concealed beneath the mount. The work is affixed to the backing sheet with glue to the upper right and left hand corners. Overall, the work appears to be in good original condition. Held in a wooden drawing frame and cream mount with green trim. Please note that the work is under glass and has been examined out of its frame.
