Condition

Executed on cream wove paper, the sheet is not laid down. Please note that the background colours of this work are more blue-grey than they appear in the catalogue illustration, please refer to the e-catalogue for a more faithful image. There is a small area of slightly stronger blue pigmentation in each of the upper corners which appear to correspond to old glue stains on the reverse. A close inspection reveals some small scattered areas of surface glue residue (since diminished) towards the right edge and in the lower half of the composition (to the left and in the centre right). This work is in good condition.
