Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing mount in the upper two corners. There are artist's pinholes in all four corners. Examined out of its frame, there are two tears to the upper two corner tips, which are likely to be original. There are some handling marks in the margins.
