Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of wear and handling to the edges of the artist's frame. Extremely close inspection reveals a pinprick-sized and unobtrusive loss to the paper board towards the upper left corner.
