Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the greens are much brighter and tend more towards neon in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places and undulates slightly. All four edges are lightly deckled with artist's pinholes in all four corners. Close inspection reveals evidence of light wear in places to the extreme outer edges of the frame, with an associated speck of loss to the lower left corner tip.
