There is a very light spot of discolouration to the centre of the sky. There is some minor foxing, mainly towards the left and right edges, and some slight undulation, mainly to the upper edge. There is some discolouration to the extreme edges, not visible when framed. This work is in good condition. Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although the paper tone is brighter and the pinks are fresher in the original.
