Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there are fewer red undertones and the overall tonality is slightly darker in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places and undulates slightly. Very close inspection reveals a tiny bump to the lower left corner tip and a few media accretions that are likely to be original.
