Condition
Colour: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are two faint lines of artist's retouching to the print towards the centre of the right section of the composition. There are several tiny original retouchings to the print elsewhere which are also original to the work's execution. There is a small media spot towards the bottom right hand corner of the image and a few further specks in places along the white border of the bottom edge.
