Colours:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is glued to the canvas along all four edges by the artist. The non-glued paper has discoloured evenly over time. Upon close inspection, there is light craquelure with some associated shrinkage and flecks of paint loss scattered in a few places.
