Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the pinks throughout are more prominent in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are a few light flattened creases to the paper throughout, original to the artist's choice of medium. There is some paper skinning to the bottom left hand corner and adjacent to the lower right corner. A faint pale rub mark is visible on close examination above the animal in the lower right corner, and there is a tiny spot of pale discolouration at the right centre of the lower edge.
