Condition
Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is much brighter and more vibrant in the original. The brown of 'Beans' tends more towards dusty rose, the red of 'Cornedbeef' towards fuchsia, the dull blue of 'Mushroom' towards very bright blue and the pale pink of 'Dumpling' towards bright bubble-gum pink in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are some very faint handling and rub marks in places on some of the frames and to the extreme edges of a few of the works . There are a few spots of extremely light media accretion adhering to some of the works. Some of the prints undulate very slightly.
