Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount and undulates slightly. The vertical edges are deckled. There are several pinholes along the edges, with a few associated tears along the lower edge. Close inspection reveals a few unobtrusive tears towards the centre where the two adjoined sheets meet.
