Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is much brighter and more vibrant and the colour of the paper tone tends more towards white in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The work is hinged verso to the mount in the upper two corners. Extremely close inspection reveals some very light and unobtrusive handling creases to the paper, a slight undulation of the paper in the upper left corner as well as a tiny earmark in the lower left corner, all of which are likely to be original and in keeping with the artist's working methods.
