Condition

The sheet is slightly cockled, but otherwise appears sound. The sheet is attached to the mount at all four corners and to the centre of the left vertical edge. The right vertical edge of the sheet is slightly unevenly cut. There is a very minor crease to the lower part of the extreme left edge. There are a few very minor spots of foxing to the right part of the work and a small scuff to the upper part of the right edge. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in excellent overall condition. The work is presented in a simple wooden frame and held under glass. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
