Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places. There are artist's pinholes in the upper two corners. The sheet undulates slightly, and there is evidence of handling along the edges, including two 3.5cm horizontal repaired tears along the lower third of the left edge and two horizontal smoothed creases along the lower third of the right edge. Close inspection reveals some discolouration in places towards the extreme outer edges, particularly along the top and lateral edges.
