Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is softer in the original with the paper tone tending more towards cream.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. It is hinged in the upper corners. There are some artist's pin holes to all four corners of the composition, all of which are inherent to the artist's working process. There is a 1cm tear to the centre of the extreme right edge and a few minute losses to the paper along the upper left corner.
