Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the sheet has less magenta undertones and tends more towards cream. The sheet is laid down on cardboard. When inspected unframed, light traces of a former frame are visible along the edges, as well as two small cuts along the right edge. There is a faint crease by the right edge, at the center, visible under close inspection. This work is very good condition overall.
