Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there are fewer magenta undertones visible in the original. The catalogue illustration also fails to fully convey the metallic quality of the graphite visible in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Each sheet is attached verso to the backing mount and undulates slightly. There is evidence of handling towards the edges with some associated minor creasing, which is likely to be original. Close inspection reveals a media accretion towards the centre of the left edge on the third sheet, and some specks of unobtrusive loss to the thicker black paint in isolated places to all three sheets.
