Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there are fewer blue undertones in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is laid down on metallic and floats in between two sheets of plexiglass. All four edges are deckled. There are artist's pinholes in the upper two corner tips, to the centre of the upper edge, and in the lower right corner. Close inspection reveals some very thin and unobtrusive hairline cracks to the centre of the upper edge.
