Condition

The work was originally executed in a spiral-bound sketchbook and has been torn out. The top edge is therefore perforated and is generally in good order. The sheet has previously been mounted and two paper hinges remain at the upper edges of the reverse of the sheet. The sheet has very minor light-staining, due to previous mounting, but this is very even and barely discernible until close inspection. There is a very soft handling crease, measuring approximately 8mm, to the right of the central round form. Unframed. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
