Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to the mount at the top two corners. There are some glue and paper remnants to all four corners probably due to previous mounting and not visible when framed. There are artist's pinholes to the upper right and lower two corners and some slight specks of paint loss to the lower red circle second from the bottom, probably inherent to the drying process. There are some minor scratches, mainly to the upper left corner.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although the oranges and blues are slightly brighter in the original.
