Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although there are no magenta undertones visible in the original. The catalogue illustration also fails to fully convey the nuances in the light grey colour of the background. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places and undulates slightly. There are artist's pinholes to all four corners. The sheet has been irregularly cut and there are a few associated minute and unobtrusive nicks in places to the extreme outer edges. Close inspection reveals some evidence of light handling throughout.
