Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the paper tone is warmer in the actual work where the greys have more depth and the blues are brighter and more vivid tending more to IKB. The image in the catalogue needs rotating 90 degrees clockwise.
Condition: This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is attached to the front mount with tape along all four edges. The mount has discoloured in places and there is light staining to the edges of the sheet under the mount. There is a shallow crease running parallel to the left section of the top edge and there are some scattered small spots of foxing in the upper section of the composition.
