Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone is cooler in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the mount in the upper two corners. There are two small perforations towards the center of the upper edge, as well as vertical and horizontal folding creases to the paper, all of which are original. There is a dog ear to the upper left corner, and there are some small and unobtrusive handling creases towards the edges, which are likely to be inherent to the artist's working process.
