Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the purple is slightly deeper in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in several places. There are two perforations to the left edge, which are in keeping with the artist's choice of materials. Very close inspection reveals some minor and unobtrusive stains and watermarks along the upper edge, which are likely to be original, and a tiny nick to the lower edge, approximately 26 cm. from the lower right corner.
