Condition
Although the verso cannot be seen fully the sheet does not appear to be laid down and is attached at the corners on the verso to the mount. There appears to be a minor light stain near the upper-right corner (visible in the catalogue illustration) and a few small spots of possible light wear in the dark pigments to the right of centre and to the lower right of this. Otherwise this work is in good overall condition.
The colours overall are somewhat deeper, and slightly less pink, in reality than in the catalogue illustration.
Presented framed and glazed, the edges of the sheet visible and not covered by the mat.
