Condition
Painted on linen-finish paper laid down on board. The board is stable. There is an artist pinhole to all four corners. There is a thick varnish through which the UV light cannot fully penenrate. However there appears to be no signs of retouching. Overall, this work appears to be in very good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate, although the orange is brighter and lighter in the original.
