Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: Unexamined out of its frame, this work is in very good condition. The sheet undulates slightly in the lower left corner. Very close inspection reveals some light dust fibers in the adhesive residue scattered intermittently along the extreme outer edges. There is evidence of very light handling in places, which appears to be original.
