Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality of the shaded areas is slightly lighter 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. Pinprick-size areas of light foxing can be seen on close inspection. There is light undulation and handling creases scattered in places throughout the composition. There is some minor wear to the corner tips. There is minor discolouration to the outer edges, particuarly to the right-hand and upper edges of the sheet. A minute tear to the centre-right of the extreme lower edge. This work has not been viewed out of the frame.
