Lot 116

Generally in very good condition; the frame shows light knocks and wear, mostly to edges and the feet, all consistent with use; there is a neatly repaired horizontal break to one of the feet about 6cm above floor level, not apparent at normal viewing; it appears the back panel to the screen has never been removed; the textile appears physically undamaged; there is some localised variation in its colours, principally to its left side, but the nature of this is unknown.
