Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the paper tends more towards cream in the original work. The sheet is attached to the mount by each of the four corners. The lower left corner is slightly lifted, visible in the catalogue illustration. There is a tiny artist's pinhole in each of the four corners, visible only under very close inspection. This work is in excellent condition.
