Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso in all four corners to the backing board. There are artist's pinholes to all four extreme corner tips, two of which have tiny specks of associated loss. The two horizontal edges are lifting slightly. Extremely close inspection reveals some minute tears to the top and bottom right hand corner tips and a tiny dog ear to the top left hand corner tip.
