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 appears to be laid down on backing sheet, which is in turn hinged to the backing mount in a few places on the reverse. All four edges are uneven and there is a tiny nick to the sheet right of centre on the lower extreme edge. The left and lower edges are very slightly time-stained and the left extreme edge is slghtly worn. Throughout the sheet there are a few small handling marks, associated smudging and isolated tiny media accretions, the majority of which appear to be original to the work's execution.
