Condition

Executed on beige wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is attached to the over-mount along the upper edge. The colours are particularly fresh and bright and the edges are slightly irregular. There is a tiny artist's pinhole in each of the lower corners, a tiny spot of paint loss in the white-ish pigment towards the upper left edge and a 2mm tear in the lower right corner (neither is visible when framed). Apart from some very light time-staining, this work is in very good original condition.
