Condition:
This work is in excellent, stable and original condition.
There is minor discolouration to the sheet at the top left and right corners, probably from a previous hinge, which is visible in the enlarged online catalogue illustration.
The paper sheet undulates slightly across the surface which is consistent with the nature of the work not being laid down.
The paper sheet is mounted using archival materials and housed in a black timber frame.
