Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although there are fewer magenta undertones visible in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing mount in several places and there are artist's pinholes to all four corners. Extremely close inspection reveals a fine rub mark running parallel to the edges which would correspond to previous framing. Further very close inspection reveals some faint creases to the lower corners and a few minute and unobtrusive nicks in places along the extreme edges. There is a tiny loss to the extreme upper left corner tip.
