Condition
Colours:
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original work.
Condition:
The work is in very good condition and is securely hinged to the mount in the upper left and right corners. The work is executed on thick wove paper with deckled edges. The lower right extreme corner tip is slightly bent inwards. Two pinhead-sized specks of media accretion one adhering to the surface in the upper right corner and one directly beneath the left hand figure's outstretched hand.. There are four unobtrusive and very light horizontal surface rubmarks (each approx 7 to 10cm in length) towards the bottom edge in the lower right quadrant.
