Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly deeper and richer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso in numerous places to the backing board and undulates slightly. Extremely close inspection reveals a minute tear towards the lower left corner tip and some tiny specs of foxing in isolated places throughout.
