Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone is slightly warmer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the backing board along the top edge. There is a thin line of pale discolouration along the centre of the top extreme edge, and two thin horizontal creases parallel to the top left and top right corners. Throughout the sheet there are a number of media accretions and handling marks which appear to be original to the work's execution (some of which are visible in the catalogue illustration).
