Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The thick paper is deckled and is naturally slightly creased throughout. There are artist's pin holes in the top two corners and top centre. There are a few light artist's handling marks in places and tiny brown media accretions in a few places along the top and bottom edges of the canvas. All other surface irregularities are in keeping with the artist's choice of medium and working process.
