Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is warmer, with the paper tone tending 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. There is creasing throughout the sheet which appears to be original to the work's execution. On close inspection, there are a few minute isolated specks of discolouration to the left and right of the figure.
