Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the black is deeper and the sheet brighter in the original work.
There is a pinhole on the upper right corner, visible only under very close inspection. The edges of the sheet are uneven, inherent to the medium used by the artist. There are few extremely faint scratches in the black ink, and one tiny area in the lower left quadrant where the ink has thinly cracked and there are some lacks.
This work is in very good condition.
