Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the tonality of the background tends more towards a soft cream in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the backing board on two places on the upper edge. Visible only when unframed and under extremely close inspection is some light discolouration along the edges.
