With mount, finished item measures 642 (h) x 430 (w) mm

Creases are visible where the paper had been previously folded. The reddish "stain" on the right is overspray from Rodney's airbrush - he began spraying the colour work before noticing that this piece was still on his drawing board. The condition is reflected in the price.
