Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the gloves are more green than blue in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Each sheet is attached verso to the backing board in all four corners. There are artist pinholes on each sheet in places along the edges, which are deckled. Very close inspection reveals a few handling marks in isolated places, which are in keeping with the artist’s working process.
