Condition
Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is slightly deeper and richer, with the red in the top right hand quadrant tending more towards burgundy in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are artist's pinholes in the top and bottom right hand corners. The paper is lifting very slightly in places along the extreme right hand edge. There is some very slight frame rubbing in places along all four extreme edges. There are some minute fly spots in the yellow area in the top left hand quadrant and towards the centre of the right hand edge.
