Condition
Executed on thick cream wove paper, not laid down, and floating in the frame. All four edges are deckled and there are intermittent artist's pinholes to the left, upper and right edges. There are some tiny tears along the left and right extreme edges, probably inherent to the support. There are two tiny spots of discolouration towards the upper left corner (visible in the catalogue illustration). Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, but the original is overall more vibrant.
