The Fine Art Society, London, where acquired by the present owner, 1st June 2004

The sheet is affixed to the mount with an adhesive at intervals along the extreme edges and corner. The edges of the sheet are cut, slightly unevenly in the lower right, which appears to be in keeping with the Artist's working method. There is very minor undulation at points to the sheet, in keeping with the Artist's materials. There is a very faint and small vertical scratch to the lower edge, towards the lower right corner, and a small fleck of staining to the right edge, towards the upper right corner. There is some possible very faint time staining to the extreme edges of the sheet. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in excellent overall condition, with strong colours and fresh passages of medium throughout. The work is window mounted and is unframed.
