Condition
The artist's sheet has been fully laid on a sheet of paper thus preventing inspection of the back. There are some scattered spots of foxing notably in the lower right corner, as visible in the catalogue illustration, and one very small tear is visible in the extreme upper edge. Overall, this work is in good condition and ready to hang.
Presented glazed, in a simple gilt frame.
Colours are overall less red in reality than in the catalogue illustration.
