Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the illustration fails to convey the silvery background and the fluorescent nature of the oranges in the original work. The greens are also more vibrant and the colours have more contrast overall.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the backing board at intervals on the reverse. There is very light wear to the top left corner tip and the right extreme edge towards the upper corners. There is minor and unobtrusive lifting to the right extreme edge of the sheet towards the lower right corner. On extremely close inspection there are some minor hairline scratches towards the top right corner and some short, fine rub marks towards the lower left corner.
