Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, althought they are lighter, more vivid, tends towards purple rather than pink and very fresh in the original. The work is executed on an ivory wove sheet of paper, floating in the mount. The work is in very good condition, althought some foxing traces are visible throughout on the sheet. Along the four edges of the sheet, traces of light exposure are visible upon close inspection. No trace of retouching is visible under UV light.
