Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly cooler 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 vertical edges and lower horizontal edge are deckled. Very close inspection reveals some light creasing in places throughout and a few tiny specks of loss in isolated places, one of which has a tiny associated hole.
