Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone tends more towards cream in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the backing mount at intervals on the reverse and there are artist's pinholes in all four corners and at the centre of the top edge. The top, bottom and left edges are deckled. There is a very light flattened horizontal crease running across the lower part of the sheet, original to the work's execution. There are three minute brown pigment specks, one beneath the date in the top left corner, and two in the lower right corner.
