The sheet is adhered to the mount with one strip of adhesive tape along the upper edge and an adherent to the lower left edge. The sheet is a sheaf taken from a sketchbook and as such the left edge has been unevenly cut, which is not visible in the present mount. There are a small number of very faint scuffs to the left edge and some 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 simple wooden frame. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
