Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the tonality of the figure's face is brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing mount in several places. Close inspection reveals a few very light handling creases towards the edges, which are likely to be original.
