Condition

Executed on cream Japan paper, not laid down, attached to the mount intermittently along all four edges. The extreme lower and right edges are very slightly uneven and there are some minor creases throughout the composition, most of which are inherent to the paper. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition. Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though there is more texture to the red in the original.
