Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in good condition. The sheet is floating between the mount and the window mount. There are artist's pinholes on the two left-facing corners. Visible only out of its frame, there is some mount and adhesive staining along the extreme outer edges, and a very short tear to the left edge, approximately 5cm. from the lower left corner. There is evidence of light handling and discolouration.
