Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The work is hinged in the upper two corners to the backing mount. All four edges are slightly deckled. Very close inspection reveals some extremely light handling creases in isolated places.
