Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the sheet is darker, less yellow in the original work.
This work was inspected framed.
The edges are slightly uneven, and the lower right quadrant presents few tiny specks, visible under close inspection. One very faint stain located 2 cm from the right edge and 9 cm from the upper as well as a very faint crease along the upper half of the right edge are visible in the catalogue illustration.
This work is in very good condition.
