Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the tonality of the green is slightly brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is laid on cardboard and has the artist's original gold tape around the edges. Close inspection reveals a small patch of tiny and very unobtrusive drying cracks in the yellow pigment at the centre of the green shape.
