Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone tends more towards cream in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in several places. All edges are slightly deckled. Close inspection reveals an unobtrusive handling crease towards the upper left corner. There is paper skinning in places, which appears to be original.
