Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is deeper and less contrasted in the original work. The sheet is slightly wavy due the laid down technique. There is a very small, very faint tear on the paper located on the lower half of the composition, at the center, visible only under very close inspection and dating prior to the laid down process. This work is in very good condition.
