Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the paper tone is slightly warmer and the yellows are lighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the backing board in all four corners. All surface irregularities are in keeping with the artist working process. Extremely close inspection reveals two minute dogears to the extreme two left hand corner tips and a minute spot of paper skinning to the centre of the lower edge. Further extremely close inspection reveals some light creases in isolated places throughout.
