Condition
Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant and the paper tends more towards white in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition and is securely fastened to the backing board in all four corners. Executed on white wove paper, there is light undulation throughout. There is very minor wear to the bottom left and right corner tips and artist's pin holes in all four corners. There are light handling marks and smudges scattered throughout, notably towards the bottom left and right edges which are original to the artist's execution. There is a minute media accretion toward the centre of the upper right quadrant.
