Condition Report:
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and taped to the overmount along all four edges. The sheet is time-stained and there are two areas of pale discolouration to the upper two corners, relating to historic adhesive tabs on the verso. There are some fine lines of craquelure to some of the thicker areas of green and red pigments. There are some tiny paint losses to the right part of the red strip, not visually distracting. There is a tiny and very pale stain to the centre of the extreme left edge and a tiny spot of pale discolouration to the upper part of the extreme right edge. There are a few paper remnants to the verso, relating to previous mounting. This work is in overall good condition.
