The work is attached at several points along the upper and lower edges. There is a small inscription apparently by another hand to the upper left corner. Two artist's pinholes to the upper centre and lower centre edges.



There is some minor wear to the edges and corners, with a small tear (approx. 1cm) to the centre right edge and a tiny tear to the lower left edge. Some gentle handling creases are present. The sheet has darkened slightly within the mount and there are several small faint spots of staining to the outer edges. Some very mild surface dirt is visible.



In our opinion, the work is in overall very good condition.
