The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
Not examined out of the frame. The sheet appears to be hinged in the reverse upper corners to the underlying mount. There are two spots of discoloured glue residue visible in the upper corners. There are some wrinkles in places. The extreme edges are unevenly cut, coherent with the artist's choice of material. There are some soft handling nicks in places. There is an soft horizontal fold along the upper horizontal egde. It is our opinion that the work is in good condition.
