Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although they are slightly more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in several places. There are artist's pinholes in al four corners. The sheet undulates and seems to have discoloured slightly over time. There are handling creases in several places, most notably two vertical creases towards the upper edge, one 10 cm. from the left edge and one 20 cm. from the right edge. There are also several stains, some of which might be original, and some scuff marks that seems to be in keeping with the artist's working process. There is a 10 cm. repaired tear towards the lower left corner.
