Condition
Not viewed out of the frame. The work appears to be attached to the backing support with adhesive along the edges, potentially with one or two spots elsewhere. The sheet undulates slightly but otherwise appears sound, with deckled edges. There are some very fine lines of craquelure in some of the thicker areas of gouache, only visible upon extremely close inspection. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in excellent overall condition, with strong, bright colours throughout.
The work is float mounted onto a fabric-covered backing mount, housed in a simple painted wooden frame, held under glass.
