Condition

Colour: The colours in the work are more vibrant and defined than in the catalogue illustration. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the mount along the edges. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. All surface inconsistencies to the sheet, including pinpoint spot and media accretions, minor creases throughout and at the lower left corner, two small dents to the sheet along the bottom edge at the left and light staining at the lower left and right corners appear inherent to the artist's working method.
