Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone is slightly brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached in places on the reverse to the backing board. The left edge is irregularly cut. Very close inspection reveals a few tiny pin-sized spots of foxing in the upper third of the composition.
