Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is softer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Upon very close inspection there is some light undulation to the extreme top edge, with minute lifting to the upper corner tips. There is an artist pin hole to the lower left corner and some areas of glue scattered in places, all of which are inherent of the artist's working process.
