Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the paper tone is lighter and brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places. There is some slight undulation to the sheet as a result of the artist's use of watercolour. Close inspection reveals a few small media accretions to the upper centre of the right hand edge.
