Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the paper tone is slightly creamier in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached to the mount at intervals along the extreme edges and is very slightly undulated. Close examination reveals a tiny media accretion to the top part of the left extreme edge, a pinprick-sized pigment speck to the centre of the right hand margin and a tiny speck of extremely pale discolouration to the centre of the left hand margin. A few further minute isolated pigment specks, the majority original to the work's execution, are visible on close inspection elsewhere to the sheet. There are a few residual rubber fibres to the upper centre of the lower left quadrant and a further speck of discolouration to the centre of the upper right quadrant. On very close examination there is a tiny short flattened crease to the lower right corner.
