Condition
The sheet is adhered to the mount one strip of adhesive tape running the length of the upper edge and two strips of adhesive tape to each lower corner. The sheet undulates slighly and there is a small imperfection to the paper in the lower right corner but otherwise appears stable. The edges of the sheet appear to be have been unevenly cut and there is one Artist's pinhole to the centre of the left vertical edge, not visible in the present mount. There are a small number of very faint creases to the sheet, including towards the lower right corner and to the left of the central composition. There is one possible spot of staining to the centre of the upper edge and some very faint time staining around the window of the mount. There are one or two possible flecks of foxing, including just below the central composition box in the centre. There are a small number of very small accretions and light surface dirt throughout. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition. The work is window mounted and held behind glass in a stained wooden box frame.
