Condition

Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is warmer and more vibrant in the original, with stronger purple hues. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a superficial layer of dust beneath the glass. There is a minute scratch 3cm. from the centre of the left edge. There is a very slight undulation to the print and scattered shallow handling creases in places throughout. There is discolouration along the bottom and right edges which would appear to be inherent to the artist's working process.
