Condition
The sheet is sound. It has not been laid down but appears to be adhered to the backboard near each corner. It cockles slightly, and has also discoloured very slightly. There are three very minor spots of surface abrasion just to the right of the base of the pole, visible upon close inspection, but otherwise the work appears in good overall condition.
Held under glass in a simple wood box frame. Unexamined out of frame.
Please call the department on 0207 293 6424 if you have any questions about the present work.
