This work has significant damp and mould damage to the lower left corner of the work; there is cracking and spotting on the canvas, the canvas and board are very warped and the canvas is lifting from the board. Thee damage is more noticeable from the verso, with the board and canvas un-secured in the frame and extensive visible mould damage. It does appear to be contained to this corner at the moment, the remainder of the canvas on board is warped slightly with some surface dirt, but otherwise fine.

The frame is in good condition with minor marks consistent with age and use. The backing board would need replacing due to the damage mentioned above and the verso of the frame may need some repair in this corner as well.

Please note that this work was not removed from the frame in order to conduct this condition report.
