Condition
Not examined out of the frame. The sheet appears to be attached to the backing board with tabs, but is not laid down. The sheet is slightly cockled. The edges of the sheet are unevenly cut in keeping with the Artist's technique, and there are one or two tiny scuffs to the edge of the sheet in places, most visibly along the lower edge. There is a very small loss to the sheet to the tip of the upper right corner, a fold to the right of the lower horizontal edge and a very small tear to the centre of the lower edge. The sheet is very slightly discoloured throughout. Subject to the above the work is in very good overall condition with strong fresh passages of medium.
The work is float mounted within a simple black wood frame and held under glass.
