This work has some condition issues to take note of. The paper appears to be slightly cockled and warped which suggests that the work is not glued down. Please note that this work has not been inspected out of the frame. There is discolouration throughout, consistent with age and medium. There are very small areas of minor foxing. There is a tear in the centre left area, measuring approximately 2cm by 1.5cm. There is a hairline scratch on the image. The work is well framed with scratches and wear.
