Condition

Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. It is securely hinged to the mount in the top two corners. Beneath the mount there is very light discolouration to the paper along all four edges. There are extremely light scattered creases to the paper in places along the top edge and a minute media splash towards the lower centre of the left hand edge. These are only visible upon very close inspection when the mount is removed.
