Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the red of the lettering tends more towards a deeper red in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places. There is a faint horizontal fold across the middle of the composition. Extremely close inspection reveals very light wear to the upper left corner and a few minute and unobtrusive indentations in isolated places along upper and lower edge.
