Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Each sheet is attached verso to the mount in several places. There are perforation holes to the vertical edges of the sheet which are inherent to the artists choice of medium. Very close inspection reveals a few tiny and unobtrusive media accretions in isolated places, and evidence of glue residue to the reverse of some of the sheets.
