Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate though the overall paper tones are warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are very light flattened creases to all four corner tips, and further very faint creases throughout the sheet. There is an extremely small dent to the sheet 5cm up from the lower left hand corner on the extreme left hand edge. There is some extremely light paper thinning at the top left hand corner and to the centre of the lower half of the sheet. There are some very small and faint spots of foxing throughout. There are three media marks to the top left hand corner, which would appear to be inherent to the artist's working process.
