Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall contrast is stronger and tonality is lighter in the original. The photograph is laid down on foamboard. Along the right edge, 6 minor and superficial scuffs (less than 0,2cm each), probably due to previous mounting, are only visible under very close inspection. This work is in excellent condition.
