Ink, wash and gouache on paper. Not examined out of the frame. The work is mounted under an acidic window mount from which we would advise removal. On close examination, there are two soft hairline creases: one from the left centre extreme edge to the right centre extreme edge; and another to the lower centre left of the sheet. The lower right edge with a small, fine tear, approximately 1 cm. in length. There appears to be mild acidic staining to the sheet. Subject to the above it is our opinion that this work appears to be in good overall condition.
