Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone is slightly lighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in several places. The colours are slightly faded. Close inspection reveals a pinprick-sized media-accretion towards the upper left corner. All other surface irregularities are inherent to the artist's working process.
