Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly softer and cooler, with the browns throughout tending more towards pale beige in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the backing mount in several places on the reverse. There is some slight undulation to the sheet, notably along the bottom edge. There is some light discolouration along the extreme edges of the sheet, visible to the unpainted places.
