Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate
Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing mount in several places. There are artist's pinholes in upper two corners and to the centre of the upper and lower edge. The vertical edges are slightly deckled, and there are some tiny tears and nicks in places along the edges, as well as three further small tears; two towards the centre of the vertical edges and one to the centre of the lower edge. Further very close inspection reveals a small scratch to the paper appropriately 8 cm. from the upper edge and 20 cm. from the right edge.
