Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone is slightly warmer 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. Close inspection reveals some creasing in isolated places throughout, most notably to the upper left and upper right corner tips and some light handling marks towards the lower right hand corner. Further very close inspection some drying cracks to some of the area of the thicker paint.
