Condition
The sheet is secured to a foam support in each of the four corners, which is then in turn fully adhered to the backing board. The sheet has been torn from a sketchbook and there are some minute remnants of glue visible along the upper horizontal edge. The right edge of the sheet has been folded over, in keeping with the Artist's working methods. There is a faint horizontal crease running the length of the sheet towards the centre, and one or two further very faint vertical creases towards the upper and lower edges, only visible upon very close inspection. There are a very small number of extremely light scuffs visible principally towards the lower left corner. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in overall excellent condition. The work is float mounted and held behind glass in a simple painted wooden frame. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
