Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso along the top edge to the mount. All four edges are deckled. Examined out of the frame, there is very light time staining to the sheet, with the unexposed edges appearing lighter.
