Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the white is slightly warmer in the original. The catalogue illustration also fails to convey the texture and shiny nature of the medium visible in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in several places. The vertical edges are deckled. There is evidence of light handling in places, which is likely to be original.
