Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality tends more towards soft cream in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the backing mount on the upper two corners. Extremely close inspection reveals two short, shallow and unobtrusive scratches to the lower left edge, which don't affect the composition.
