Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the pale reds are slightly stronger in the original work.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. The colours are faded as per the catalogue illustration and there are tiny spots of foxing scattered throughout. There are minute artist's pin-holes in all four corners and in places along the side edges of the sheet. There is minor wear to each corner tip and upon very close inspection there are scattered tiny specks of wear and discolouration to the black gouache borders of the sheet.
