The sheet is fully laid down onto a backing card. The sheet appears sound. The edges of the sheet are deckled. There are pinholes apparent in both the lower corners and in the upper left corner, thought to be in keeping with the artist's technique, with some slight associated discolouration. There is some staining to the sheet in places, with some tiny scattered spots of foxing, and also some discolouration, which is only apparent when viewed unframed. There may be some light surface dirt in places. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in good overall condition. The work is window mounted and presented in a painted wooden frame, held under glass. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
