Condition

Condition: The artist pinholes are visible at all four corners and at the centre of the upper and lower edges. The upper edge is irregularly cut and there is a small tear at the extreme upper right corner. Apart from a few small dots of retouching, visible under UV light, to the upper and right edges this work is in good condition. Colours: The colours are richer in the original than in the catalogue's illustration, the white parts are generally more cream and there is less contrast than in the reproduction.
