Condition

Colour:The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to convey the velvety texture of the Japan paper apparent in the original.Condition:This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attched verso to the backing mount in the upper two corners. All four edges are deckles. Close inspection reveals evidence of light wear and superficial handling marks to the edges of the frame.
