Condition
Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is softer, with the purple tending more towards deep sky blue and the paper tone to pale grey in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. It is hinged to the frame along the left and right hand edges. There is some slight undulation towards the centre of the sheet. The outer edges of the paper are uneven. There are four small tears approx. 2cm in length to the centre and right centre of the top edge. There is a vertical crease running down the centre of the composition.
