Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the reverse of the mount along the upper edge. Very close inspection reveals some light discolouration towards the edges, notably towards the left edge, as well as a small number of faint and unobtrusive pin head-sized media accretions scattered in a few isolated places.
