Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the printed catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original work. The creases are slightly dusty. There are tiny stable hairline cracks scattered throughout the beige background visible upon very close inspection only. There is a tiny wear mark to the lower left corner. A loss is located in the lower right corner. This work is in very good original condition.
