Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the frame tends more to London Bus red in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is a very slight undulation to the surface of the print.There are two minute spots of discolouration above the "O" of "money", and a further few to the centre of the lower left quadrant as well as to the figure's nose. There are scattered rub marks to the frame, some with associated localised paint losses, most noticeable along the bottom edge and to the inside of the top edge right of the centre. Some minute dust fibres have become lodged between the work's surface and the glass.
