These may be inherent with the nature of the Artist's working methods and materials. Elsewhere there is minor surface dirt and traces of dust to the crevices, but this excepting the work appears in very good overall condition.

Catalogue Note

‘Both artists [Henderson and Sutherland] had a deeply romantic, elemental sense of the Earth and its primordial powers.’
