Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the background is slightly lighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Visible only when examined out of its frame, the margins seem to have discoloured slightly and there are some unobtrusive irregularities to the extreme outer edges. Further close inspection in raking light reveals some minor handling creases to the paper.
