Condition

Executed on cream card, which is stable and flat. There is a 5mm. indentation at the centre of the extreme right edge, probably caused by a nail during past framing, a small nick at the left of the lower extreme edge and at the centre of the left edge, and some minor paper skinning of the upper layer at each of the four extreme corners. Apart from some mount staining along all four edges and some minor studio dirt, this work is in good condition. Colours: the sheet tone is creamer and the colours overall are warmer and fresher in the original.
