Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there are fewer red undertones and the overall tonality is slightly lighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount along the upper edge and there are artist's pinholes in the upper two corners. Very close inspection reveals some handling creases in places to the paper. Visible only when examined out of its frame, the sheet appears to have discoloured slightly over time, there is some minor foxing to the margins, and adhesive residue to all four corners.
