Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the papertone is lighter and there are more nuances in the black in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in several places. There are artist's pinholes in the upper two corners. The left and upper edges are irregularly torn, with an associated tear on the lower left edge which is visibly in the catalogue illustration is likely to be original.
