45cm x 31cm,

More Information

The picture is framed under glass and has not been removed for inspection. Currently the chalk surface appears to be in good condition, but the paper has been framed without a mount so the chalk surface is in contact with the glass. This may result in some loss to the chalk surface if the piece is removed from the frame. The paper has darkened somewhat over time, and shows some staining to the bottom edge, with further small stains, foxing and marks across the surface. The edges of the paper show various losses, and there are further small tears in some areas (the largest approximately 2cm long).
