Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, and held in place to the mount at all four corners with photo-corners. There is an artist's pinhole to each of the upper corners. There is some extremely minor mount staining and rubbing to parts of the very extreme edges, not visible when framed. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though overall slightly warmer in the original.
