Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the highlights are warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in several places. There are artist's pinholes along the upper edge. Very close inspection reveals evidence of very minor bumping to the extreme corner tips, the lower left edge and the right of the lower edge.
