Condition
The buff colored wove sheet is laid down along both side edges and intermittantly along the lower edge to a wooden stretcher. The sheet is somewhat time darkened and there is a small water stain near the lower left corner and another in the grey and black multi colored area (lower left). Other tiny scattered areas of surface dirt. A thin drip or water stain in the grey pigeon's breast seems likely to be orignal to the artist's process.
Colours: Fairly accurate to the catalogue illustration.
