Unexamined out of the frame, the sheet does not appear to be laid down but appears to be attached to the mount in a number of places. The edges of the sheet are deckled, and the sheet is slightly cockled in places. There is a light fold in the upper right corner and a minor crease towards the centre of the upper edge. The sheet is very slightly discoloured around the edges. There is an extremely small spot of discolouration towards the extreme lower left corner, only visible upon close inspection. There are a few spots of studio detritus. Subject to the above the work is in excellent overall condition. The work is float mounted within a cream mount and held in a moulded wood frame under glass.
