Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone is warmer and the contrast in the writing is stronger. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in the top two corners. There is a horizontal folding crease in the centre of the paper and light handling creases scattered in places, which are all original. There are light creases due to the adhesive in the upper left corner.
