Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached to the mount along its edges. Examined out of its frame, there is some very light and unobtrusive mount staining along the extreme outer edges. Very close inspection reveals some very faint handling marks in a few isolated places.
