Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the green is deeper and richer 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 light wear to the top two and bottom right corners with some associated creases to the right corners. There are two small losses to the centre of the bottom edge and a minute cluster of cracks towards the centre of the left edge, which fluoresces lighter under ultra-violet light. Further inspection reveals a short faint rub mark running vertically from the lower left section of the leaf.
