Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the tonality of the dark red is slightly lighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso in several places to the mount and undulates slightly. The upper edge is irregularly cut. Close inspection reveals a few tears to the lower and left edge towards the lower left corner, and a tiny bump to the lower edge towards the right corner. Only visible in raking light is a faint vertical rub mark towards the centre of the upper edge.
