Condition
Colour: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. The card is stable and bows slightly. There are tiny artist's pinholes in the bottom two corners. There are handling marks in places overall, probably original to the artist's working process. There is discolouration to the extreme edges and a tiny spot of brown media towards the centre of the right edge of the upper right quadrant. There are two horizontal shallow creases approximately 5 cm. from the centre of the bottom edge.
