Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone is less saturated in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in several places. There are vertical and horizontal folding creases, which appear to be original, and some light and unobtrusive handling creases. Close inspection reveals some tiny media accretions scattered in places, and a small dog ear to the upper left corner.
