Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone tends more towards a soft cream and the red tends more towards a raspberry pink in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. All four edges are slightly deckled and there are artist's pin holes in the top two corners. Close inspection reveals light undulation to the sheet and two minute specks of skinning to the paper; one towards the centre and another towards the bottom of the left edge. There is a very faint line of discolouration running parallel with the lower edge.
