Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the red is more saturated and the black is deeper in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the window mount in several places. There are some unobtrusive handling creases scattered throughout, which are likely to be original. There is a scuff mark approximately 10cm. above the lower right corner. All other surface irregularities are in keeping with the artist's working process and choice of medium.
