Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the red tendS more towards a raspberry and the paper tone tends more towards white in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached to the backing board at intervals on the reverse. There are a few, extremely light handling marks along the top and lower edges and in the top right hand corner that are likely original to the work's execution.
