Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original, with the paper tone tending more towards cream.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached to the backing board at intervals on the reverse. All four edges are uneven. All surface irregularities are original and inherent to the artist's working process.
