Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although there are no yellow undertones in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the mount in two places along the upper edge. There are some minute and unobtrusive handling marks in the margins, which is in keeping with the artist's choice of medium.
