Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone is warmer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The upper sheet is attached verso to the lower sheet along the upper edge and the lower sheet is attached verso to the mount in the upper two corners. There is a small tear and three associated punctures to the upper edge of the upper sheet, which are in keeping with the artist's working process. The upper, right and lower edges of the lower sheet are slightly deckled and there is evidence of light handling with a short crease to the lower right corner.
