Condition
Executed on japan paper, laid down on card. There are two artist's pinholes to each of the upper corners. There is an extremely faint vertical crease running down the centre of the work, probably where the work has been previously folded. There are a few further scattered small creases in places due to the laying down process. There is a numerical inscription in faint pencil to the righthand figure's forehead. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: slightly brighter and lighter (the oranges are more yellow) in the original when compared to the printed catalogue.
