Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone tends more towards ivory and the contrasts are slightly softer in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached to a backing card which in turn is attached to a backing board. There are artist's pin holes in all four corners and the sheet is slightly undulating as a result of the backing card, with some fine creases in all four corners. Around the edges of the sheet, there are a few isolated light handling marks and two spots of paper skinning; one towards the top of the left extreme edge, and the other towards the bottom of the lower quadrant.
