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. There is a pinpoint black media accretion in the upper left corner of the left sheet, likely from the time of execution.
