Condition

The sheet appears sound. The sheet is attached to the mount with two pieces of tape, affixed along the upper horizontal edge. The sheet undulates very slightly in places, and there are some slight creases and handling marks to the sheet in places, including at the centre of the lower horizontal edge, with some further creases visible when viewed unframed. There is some slight rubbing to the sheet in the upper left corner, visible only when viewed unframed. There are a few traces of very slight studio detritus. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition. The work is window mounted and presented in a simple wooden frame, held under glass. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
