Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. The pale cream border in catalogue illustration is the backing board and is not a part of the work itself.
Condition: This work is in very good condition and is securely hinged to the backing board in each of the corners. There is a light undulation to the paper throughout. There are tiny artist's pinholes in the bottom two corners. The uneven bottom edge of the paper is original to the work's execution.
