Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality of the paper tends more towards pale cream in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached to the backing board in several places on the reverse. There are extremely light handling marks in a few places along all four edges and in places in the upper right-hand quadrant, which appear to be original to the work's execution. There are extremely light handling creases to all four extreme corner tips and one to the centre of the extreme top edge. To the extreme left-hand edge, the paper has discoloured slightly with a slightly darker small patch to the centre and a very small watermark towards the top corner.There is a very light rubmark to the extreme top edge towards the left-hand corner.
