Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration but more contrasted in the original work. Inspected unframed, the paper is slighlty ondulated inherent to the medium used. Three pinholes are visible in the upper and lower right corners and in the lower left corner. there is a small lack of paper in the upper left corner (not visible when framed). There is an old scotch tape fixed along the rims on the reverse of the work. This work is in good condition.
