Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly cooler in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition, the print is sandwiched between two sheets of Plexiglass. Very close inspection in raking light reveals a very faint and short hairline scratch to the white border of the print just below the top right corner of the left hand image which appears to be inherent to the printing process. Inspection under raking light also reveals two very faint vertical and shallow scratches towards the centre of the top face of the left hand frame which appear to have been polished out.
