Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is much more vibrant in the original work and the paper tends more towards pale ivory.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Executed on cream wove paper, this work is securely attached to a backing board in several places on the reverse. There is some light undulation throughout the paper. There is a shallow crease to the lower right and left corners and a further tiny 2cm crease approximately 10cm up from the extreme lower right corner of the composition.
