Condition
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original.
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the backing board along the top edge, and the edges of the sheet are deckled. Examined out of the frame, close inspection reveals minor discoloration to the extreme edges.
