Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is much light, brighter and cooler in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in numerous places and undulates slightly. All four edges are deckled. There are artist's pinholes to all four corners, with associated rubbing to the upper left corner. Very close inspection reveals some minute spots of paper skinning to the extreme right hand edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra violet light.
