Condition
Please note that measurements in inches are incomplete in the printed catalogue and should read 25 5/8 x 19 7/8 in.
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is taped to the overmount along the edges. There are some faint creases running horizontally from the left edge & 5 more pronounced creases running from the right edge. There is evidence of minor shrinkage in all four coloured areas, intrinsic to the artistic process. There are four pin holes, two in the centre of the upper edge and two in the centre of the lower edge. Apart from some scattered, small spots of foxing in the background areas, this work is in (fairly) good original condition.
