Condition
Colour:
The colours in the e-catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the papertone tends more towards a soft cream in the original. The e-catalogue illustration also fails to convey the shimmering quality of the gold leaf in the original. Please note the image correction as per the saleroom notice for this lot.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The horizontal edges are deckled. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places. There are artist's pinholes in all four corners.
