Condition
The work is executed on board laid down on paper which in turn is laid down on the artist's mount. The edges are irregular which is inherent to the artist's process. Apart from some light time staining throughout, this work is in good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate, although slightly more subtle in the original.
