Condition

Executed on buff-coloured wove paper laid down on card by the artist. The edges are uneven, there are a few very small spots of paint loss in areas mainly in the lower right quadrant, possibly inherent to the drying process. There are minor flattened creases mainly to the edges with associated medium losses, predominantly towards the centre of the right edge and to the upper left edge. There is a small area of medium rubbing towards the centre of the lower edge, possibly inherent to the artist's process. Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although colours are slightly more subtle and some areas are more blue in the original, predominantly in the upper right quadrant.
