Condition

Executed on thin Japan paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount at two points on the top edge, floating in the mount. There is an artist's pinhole to the upper left corner. Apart from some minor creases, possibly intrinsic to the nature of the support, this work is in very good condition. Colours: Fairly accurate, although the blues are stronger in the original.
