Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the paper tone tends more towards a light cream in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet it attaches verso to the backing board in numerous places and undulates slightly. All four edges are deckled and there are artists pinholes to the upper two and lower right corners. Extremely close inspection reveals some minute and unobtrusive specks of oxidation in isolated places.
