Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the red tends more towards dark orange and the black is slightly lighter in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to a backing mount in several places. Close inspection reveals some light signs of wear in places along the edges, mainly to the upper left corner, and small creases to the extreme corners. Further close inspection reveals two small tears; one 1 cm. tear to the upper edge, 15 cm. from the upper right corner, and one 3 cm. tear to the left edge, 5 cm. from the lower left corner.
