Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in all four corners. The top and bottom edges are deckled with some associated short tears, most notably to the centre of the bottom edge, which are likely to be original. There are artist pinholes in all four corners. Close inspection reveals some minor discolouration to the extreme edge of the top left corner and a small crease to the bottom right corner tip. Further close inspection reveals some minor handling marks in places to the bottom edge and a small spot of media accretion to the centre right of the bottom edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
