Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is lighter and tends more towards a soft cream in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in several places. Extremely close inspection reveals an extremely faint spot of skinning towards the centre of the composition, which is likely to be original, and a tiny pinprick-sized media accretion towards in lower right quadrant, not affecting the main image.
