Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is cooler, with the paper tone tending more towards beige in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the backing mount at intervals on the reverse. The creasing throughout, the paper skinning and nicks around the left and top extreme edges are original and inherent to the artist's working process.
