Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is cooler in the original and the illustration fails to convey the textural nature of the surface.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are artist's pin-holes to the top corners. As it is evident in the catalogue illustration there is a minute spot of paper skinning towards the upper right edge, which is inherent to the artist's method.
