Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is softer with the paper tending more towards taupe in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There are several circular stains scattered in place to the composition, all of which are visible in the catalogue illustration. The paper undulates slightly. There are a few thin and shallow creases along the upper corners with a 1mm tear above the centre of the left edge (visible in the catalogue illustration). Upon very close inspection there are a few foxing marks scattered in places to the paper.
