Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso in several places to the mount. There are artist's pinholes in the top two corners and the left and lower edges of the sheet are slightly deckled. Close inspection reveals some signs of light and unobtrusive fading to the felt tip pen in isolated spots of the composition.
