Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the tonality of the background is more uniform and overall tends towards a slightly deeper grey. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing mount in several places and undulates. Extremely close inspection reveals a minute speck of loss to the lower extreme edge, approximately 30 cm. from the lower left corner.
