Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate though the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant with the yellow tending more to sun orange in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. It is taped to the mount along all four reverse edges, there is a protective board taped also to the reverse. There are tiny artist's pin holes in all four corners, only visible out of the frame. The paper is slightly undulating and there are two very light handling creases towards the upper right edge and one towards the upper left edge, only visible upon close inspection. There are a few minute spots of foxing towards the bottom right hand corner and two further spots of foxing towards the right hand edge of the composition.
