Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly deeper in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the backing board in numerous places and undulates slightly. The two vertical edges and the upper edge are unevenly cut and there are artist pinholes to all four corner tips. Very close inspection reveals a few light creases in isolated places to the extreme edges.
