Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is lighter in the original, with the paper tone tending more towards cream. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The paper is hinged in all four corners to the backing board. There are six pin-sized holes to the centre of the composition, all of which are inherent to the artist's working process.
