Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the blue has fewer magenta undertones and the dark red is slightly deeper in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is framed between a plexiglass panel and board. Very close inspection reveals tiny specks of media accretions scattered in isolated places towards the left edge.
