Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is lighter in the original. The work is in stable condition and is executed on a tracing sheet of paper floating in the mount. Four tears are visible uppon very close inspection when the sheet is unframed : 1. located along the upper edge (approx. 1 cm). 2. located along the upper edge (approx. 1,5 cm). 3. located along the right edge (approx. 8 cm). 4. located along the bottom edge (approx 2,5 cm). Creases are visible on the sheet of paper and look inherent to the paper itself.
