Condition
The sheet is laid down on thick card. The sheet is very slightly cockled in the centre. There is a small thin crease to the sheet in the upper left corner. There is a faint crease along the lower horizontal edge, possibly caused by a previous mount. There is some light rubbing along the upper edge and the lower part of the right vertical edge, with associated staining to the sheet, not wholly visible in the present frame. There are a few very small areas of craquelure, towards the centre of the composition, with a couple of tiny, isolated losses. There is a further very tiny abrasion to the upper left extreme edge, visible upon close inspection. There is a small spot of staining in the upper right quadrant. There is some light surface dirt and traces of studio detritus, but subject to the above the work is in very good overall condition.
The work is attached to a backing board and held in a simple wood frame under glass.
