Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to backing board in several places. There are artist's pinholes in the top two corners. Upon close inspection, there is evidence of light wear and handling to the extreme outer edges and corner tips.
