Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalouge illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone tends more towards ivory in the original. The grey wash in the catalogue illustration has stronger green undertones and the overall colours are stronger and more saturated in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the backing mount at intervals on the reverse. There is some faint artist smudging in a few places around the edges and to the top part of the sheet.
