Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places. The horizontal and left edges are deckled. There are artist's pinholes in the top two corners, and in the centre of the top edge. Extremely close inspection reveals small handling creases to the top two corner tips, as well as a short and unobtrusive tear on the extreme right edge, towards the top right corner tip.
