Condition

The artist sheet appears to have some superficial scratches, which are visible in the catalogue illustration. There is a small tear of approximately 2cm in the lower left quadrant of the composition, closer to the framing edge. This is however not too distracting. Please note that the item has not been examined outside its frame.
