Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is slightly lighter in the original work. The work was inspected framed. The edges of the sheet are uneven, inherent to the medium, and present some faint wears. There is a pinhole in each of the four corners. Two creases located along the left edge are visible under close inspection. This work is in very good condition.
