Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the photograph is slightly brighter in the original and the paper tone of the drawing tends more towards cream in the original. Condition: i. This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places. The sheet undulates slightly, and the right edge is deckled. There are three small media accretions stuck between the sheet and the plexiglass, and there is one tiny irregularity to the paper towards the centre of the composition. ii. This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection in raking light reveals some thin and unobtrusive surface scratches to the plexiglass.
