Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the work on the far right in the illustration is more green-toned. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Each sheet is hinged verso intermittnetly along the edges to the mount. There is a slight undulation to each sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. Under very close inspection, some light handling is visible along the edges and there are a few minor and unobtrusive pinpoint spot accretions visible.
