Condition
The sheet is adhered to the mounting board along the top edge. The sheet is unevenly cut along all four edges, in keeping with the Artist's technique. There is some extremely minor rounding to the bottom left and bottom right corners of the sheet. The sheet undulates very slightly towards the centre. There are a few light and small spots of foxing on the left side of the sheet. Subject to the above the work appears to be in excellent overall condition.
The work is held within a simple wood frame under glass.
