Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original and the pink is slightly more saturated.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Each of the three sheets is attached verso to the lower sheet on the upper two corners. There is a small crease to the lower left corner of the lower sheet. Extremely close inspection reveals a vertical, very faint crease towards the tight edge of the lower sheet, all of which are likely original.
