Condition
The sheet is fully laid down on to a supportive card. There is some frame abrasion visible at points along each edge. There is some craquelure in the thicker areas of gouache. There appears to be some very light staining to the extreme edges of the sheet, perhaps from a previous mount. There are some scattered flecks of water staining, in keeping with the Artist's materials and working methods. Some of the pigments may have very slightly faded. There are some minor accretions, and some instances of studio matter. Subject to the above the work appears to be in excellent overall condition. The sheet is window mounted and held behind glass in a simple wooden frame. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
