Condition

This work is executed on buff coloured wove paper laid down on cardboard on all the edges. The edges of the sheet are uneven and there is small loss to the sheet below and left of the signature. Pastel is not fixed. The sheet is somewhat time darkened probably in due to a non archival mount. There is some rubbing to the edges probably due to prior frame abrasion. Colours: the colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the sheet tone is to too reddish in the catalogue, the greens are fresher in person and and the sky has lighter tones including aqua and pink.
