Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant, with the reds throughout tending more towards bright cherry red in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There are artist's pin holes in all four corners of the sheet. There are a few specks of dirt scattered along the lower right edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
