Condition

Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly softer in the original work. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is slight undulation to the top edge of the sheet. There is a hairline scratch to the top right photograph towards the centre right edge of the composition. There are a few very faint handling marks on the photograph to the left of the centre of the tree trunk, most likely original to the work's execution.
