Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the colours are slightly less saturated in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some wear along the edges and to the corner tips, with some associated small tear and losses in places. There are creases, tears, and scratches to the paper throughout the composition, which appear to be original. There are three small losses: one towards the lower right corner; one to the right edge, approximately 20 centimetres from the lower right corner; and one larger loss towards the centre lower edge, which is possibly original.
