This work is in good condition, with some overall discolouration, consistent with age. There are some darker areas of discolouration on the corners of the work, perhaps from previous framing or mounting. There is cockling to the paper which suggests that the work has not been glued down, however this work has not been inspected out of the frame. The work is well framed, however the are marks and scratches to the frame.
