Condition

The sheet is sound. The work has been squared for transfer and numbered under the mount. It is not laid down but affixed to the mount along the upper edge, it cockles slightly. There are two minor white, spots of surface matter, one near the left side of the lower edge, the other above the red pigment near the centre of the right edge; and two further spots near the upper left edge. Otherwise the work appears in very good overall condition. Under UV light certain pigments fluoresce but these appear to be by the hand of the artist. Held under glass in a simple wood frame with a cream mount. Please call the department on 0207 293 6424 if you have any questions about the present work.
