Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount at the upper corners, floating in the mount. The left edge is perforated. There are two very small tears to the extreme right edge and a tiny crease running along the upper part of the right edge. There is a slight undulation to the sheet due to the hinging process and some very light surface dirt to the upper corners. Otherwise, this work is in good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue although the pinks are slighter pinker in the original and the paper tone warmer.
