Condition

The artist's sheet has been laid on board which is slightly undulated and uneven. Scattered tears are visible, notably to the edges of the artist's sheet, however these are not particularly distracting from a distance. A faint horizontal line, possibly corresponding to an old fold, is visible across the composition. The overall appearance is good. Presented glazed, in a decorative frame with a nameplate. Please note this work has been inspected under glass.
