Condition

The paper has been laid down onto card, and the card is, in turn, affixed to the mount with strips of adhesive tape at intervals along the edges. There are Artist's pinholes to each of the upper corners, with an associated very minor and historic crease to the upper left corner. There is one very faint 1cm. vertical scuff in the upper left quadrant. There is extremely light mount staining, in keeping with age, just visible to the upper edge. There is evidence of one or two isolated flecks of foxing, studio matter and light surface dirt in places but, subject to the above, the work appears in very good overall condition. The work 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.
