Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the tonality of the paper is warmer in the original. Condition: Executed on cream wove paper, this work is in very good condition and is securely hinged to the backing board in several places on the reverse. There is light undulation to the sheet throughout and minor wear to the upper left and lower right corner tips. There is a faint handling mark at the bottom edge towards the right corner and three shallow faint creases: one at the right hand edge approximately 3cm from the top corner; two to the bottom right corner. There are two very small spots of faint discolouration to the bottom edge: one at the right corner, the other to the left of centre. There is a further extremely faint small mark just above the centre of the composition.
