Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the ink tends more towards red in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in several places. The colours are faded. Close inspection reveals a few faint handling creases to some of the edges, as well as minor bumping to the upper left and lower right corner tips.
