Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the sheet is a creamier egg yellow and the overall tonality of the colours are more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Each sheet is hinged verso intermittently along the edges to the mat. There is a slight undulation to each sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. Under very close inspection, a pinpoint paper accretion is visible along the bottom edge of the right sheet.
