The edges of the board have been chipped. There is a horizontal crack approximately 13cm in length running across the centre of the right side. The work has been variously scratched and scuffed. There is a label attached to the reverse titled, dated and signed 'Rodger Hilton'. The surface of the work is slightly dirty. Mounted on a hessian board. This work would benefit from re-presentation. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals no evidence of retouching.
