Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone is lighter and tends more towards a true white in the original. Condition: This work is in very good and original condition. The sheet is hinged to the backing board in all four corners with artist's pinholes in all four corners. There are several media accretions and handling creases in places, as well as a short and unobtrusive strip of skinning to the centre of the upper edge, all of which appear to be original and in keeping with the artist's working process.
