Condition
The sheet is not laid down, but is freely affixed to the card mount via four photo corners.
There are pin holes visible in the top corners, in keeping with the nature of the artist's working method. The left hand edge has been unevenly cut. There are signs of old, previous tabs in the four corners, and some very minor handling marks visible to the sheet. There are a few tiny instances of very minor surface dirt and studio detritus visible upon extremely close inspection, but this excepting the work appears in excellent overall condition.
Housed behind Perspex in a simple black wooden frame, set against a black and white card mount.
