Condition

Colour: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the background tends more towards dark khaki in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. It is hinged to the backing board in all four corners. There is an artist's pinhole in the top left and right hand corners. There is a light handling crease in the top right hand corner and one to the lower centre of the extreme right hand edge. The edges are uneven throughout, original to the work's execution. There is very light paper skinning to the extreme bottom right hand corner.
