Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in several places. All four edges are deckled. There are artist's pinholes in all four corners. Close inspection reveals a small spot of skinning in the upper left corner, which is likely to be inherent to the artist's working process.
