Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate though the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet undulates very slightly throughout and the left edge extreme is perforated in keeping with the artist's choice of material; all four edges are faintly age discoloured. Mounted at the top two corners, the tape is very faintly visible through the sheet.
