Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in several places. Extremely close inspection reveals two pinhead-sized and very unobtrusive nicks to the paper, one towards the lower left edge of the image and one towards the lower centre of the composition, both of which are possibly inherent to the artist's working process.
