Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse to the backing board along the top edge. There is pale time staining to the sheet, more pronounced at the lower edge. The sheet undulates slightly, due to the artist's working method and choice and medium. There are some soft creases at the corners and near the edges and there is evidence of light handling. Framed under glass.
