Condition

Colours: 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. The three sheet are professionally taped together and professionally paper taped to the mount on a few small spots along the edges. The paper undulates slightly throughout. Under raking light there are some very thin and unobtrusive creases in places: one to the centre of the top edge of the central paper, one to the centre of the extreme right edge, one running parallel to the upper left corner, one to the centre of the right panel and a further small crease towards the lower left corner.
