Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the blues are softer and more varied in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat at the upper two corners. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. There is artist's tape along the verso of the sheet which is visible along the edges in some areas.
