Lot 59

In fair condition overall. There are creases in the paper throughout, possibly inherent from the artist's studio. There are no apparent tears or holes, so the creases could be smoothed out of the paper surface.
There is very minor foxing, and surface marks. The work is framed, in good condition.


The opinions expressed in the condition reports are a guide only and should not be treated as a statement of fact. Prospective buyers are encouraged to inspect articles for sale at our pre-sale viewing where Leonard Joel staff are available for advice.
