Condition
The sheet is not laid down but is hinged to the mount at the upper left and right edges, and is very slightly undulating. Apart from even yellowing of the sheet overall (apart from the extreme edges, which are lighter due to a former mat), and a tiny crease in the extreme lower right corner, this work is in good condition.
Held in a simple gilt frame with the edges of the sheet visible and not covered by the mat, under glass.
