Condition

Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone is slightly warmer and the green pigment tends more to brighter acid green in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition and is securely held between the passe-par-tout and the backing board. Upon close examination there are two extremely faint light watermarks: one to the lower left corner and the other to just below the top right corner. There are a few isolated extremely pale and unobtrusive tiny spots of discolouration to the upper right of the green pigment.
