Condition

Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Nine of the nineteen sheets are held in plastic envelope pockets mounted on backing sheets and are framed. There is light undulation to some of the backing sheets. There are some incised hairline marks to the paper on a few of the lithographs which are inherent to the artist's working process. There is light and superficial dust to the hat.
