Condition
Executed on cream japan paper, not laid down, attached to the mount at all four corners, and floating in the overmount. The upper edge is deckled and the lower and right edges are very slightly unevenly cut. There is a very light crease running along the extreme right edge, probably inherent to the paper. There is a tiny white square of white discolouration to the lower right corner. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the papertone is slightly less pink and the blacks slightly less saturated in the original.
