Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant, with the pink tending more towards a fluorescent pink in the original and the background tending more towards light cream.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. The work is securely hinged to the backing board in places on the reverse. There is light undulation to the sheet and very minor wear to the two top and bottom right corner tips. There are some very few faint rub marks scattered at intervals in the border. There is a minute media accretion towards the centre top of the upper left quadrant. There is a tiny spot of faint discolouration to the centre of the top right quadrant and a small spot to the bottom right of the lower left quadrant.
