Due to the nature of the frame, it is not possible to unframe this work. Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and floating in the mount, most probably attached intermittently to the mount. There are a few artist's pin holes along the upper edge. There is a small paper loss to the upper and lower right corners and a small paper loss to the centre of the right edge. There are two very minor pinhead-sized holes to the sun. There are a few very minor tears to the upper and lower edges and one to the centre of the right edge. The sheet is slightly time stained and there are a few spots of foxing visible. This work appears to be in overall good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate, though the sheet is slightly warmer in the original.
