Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places. All four edges are deckled. Close inspection reveals some faint discolouration to the outer edges, an artistÂ’s pinhole in the centre of the left edge and a few very faint handling marks along the top edge.
