Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter in the original, with the paper tone tending more towards a turquoise 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 is a crease, two staple holes and some minor shallow creasing running down the centre of the composition which are original to the artist's choice of medium.
