Condition
Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although there is less of a blue tone in the original work.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are some superficial specks of dust underneath the plexiglass just above the bottom edge of the frame. Very cose inspection reveals there is a minute loss to the printed surface just above the area of mist in the lower right quadrant.
