Condition: This work is in very good condition. It is hinged to the backing board in several places on the reverse. There are artist's pin holes in all four corners. The paper is slightly uneven in tone and there is light undulation throughout. There is a tiny media accretion to the top centre of the left edge. There is a short shallow crease to the lower right corner and four tiny nicks to the lower part of the right extreme edge.
