Condition
The work is comprised of two steel sheets which are hung flush. The steel appears sound. The top right corner of the left sheet is pulling away from the supporting frame ever so slightly, only visible upon very close inspection, and there are one or two small scuffs beneath it at the right vertical edge of the sheet. In the extreme lower left corner there is some very minor lifting to the paint surface. There may be one or two small losses to the overhanging paint at the lower horizontal edge, with one or two tiny flecks to the extreme edges elsewhere, including three very tiny flecks of loss at the lower left corner of the right sheet. There is some slight unevenness in the surface of the paint in places, only visible upon very close inspection. There are one or two tiny specks of surface dirt, with a few handling marks to the edges, including a small line at the lower right corner of the left sheet. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in excellent overall condition.
The steel sheets are mounted on an aluminium stretcher.
