Colours: The colours in the catalogue illsutration are lighter than in the original. The overall tonality is warmer and the catalogue cover illustation is closer to the original. The natural colour of the paper slightly tends to pink. The overall tonality is deeper in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition and is mounted on a cardboard at the four corners of the sheet. Slight sun traces are visible at the four corners of the recto side of the sheet (this may be inherent to previous pieces of tape stuck on the back). The sheet of paper comes from a spiral bound drawing pad and the reminants of the paper attachement are still visible. Three folds are visible in the lower right corner of the sheet and one fold is visible in the upper left corner.
