Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is held between Plexiglas. All four edges are unevenly cut. Close inspection reveals some slight discolouration towards the edges of the sheet, some slight fading to the felt tip, and some light creasing in places throughout, most notably towards the top right hand corner tip.
