Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Visible only upon extremely close inspection in raking light, there are some shallow and unobtrusive surface scratches to the plexiglass isolated in places. Further extremely close inspection reveals three small and unobtrusive surface irregularities to the margins of the paper, towards the center the left edge. Close inspection reveals a number of very small air bubbles caught between the print and the plexiglass, running diagonally in the margin to the lower right corner.
