Condition
Executed on a buff-coloured board, not laid down, fixed to a support and floating in the mount. There are minor flattened creases to all four corners. The board is time stained with scattered spots of foxing, predominantly to the right edge. There are two areas of abrasion inherent to the artist's process. There is a minor nick to the surface in the lower right quadrant. This work is in overall good condition.
