Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although paper tone tends more towards a soft sand colour in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached to the backing board in several places on the reverse. The work consists of three sheet of paper attached together with glue resulting in some associated glue residue where they meet.
