Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original work where the orange tones tend more to a deep pink.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is securely attached to the backing board at intervals at the reverse. All four edges are slightly deckled and there is undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist’s choice of medium and working process.
