Esther Nicholson, by whom gifted to the present owner circa 2005

The sheet is free floating. The lower, left and right edges of the sheet are deckled, and at some stage the left edge has been cut unevenly. There is a very soft crease in the upper right corner. There are two very small losses to the upper surface of the sheet towards the left of the upper horizontal edge, and another extremely small one towards the right of the upper horizontal edge. The sheet undulates very slightly around the edges, but otherwise appears sound. The work appears to be in excellent overall condition. The work is presented in a simple wooden frame, held under glass. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
