Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, taped to the overmount along the upper and lower edges. The edges are deckeled. On the reverse of the sheet, there is a small tape remant to the centre of the upper edge, paper remnants to the upper two corners, some minor adhesive residue at intervals along the upper edge, at the centre of the left and right edges and in the lower two corners. There are some tiny spots of very light foxing in the upper right quadrant and some light rubbing to the medium towards the centre of the right and left edges. Apart from some light undulation and time staining to the sheet, this work is in good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate although the paper tone is slightly warmer and the colours overall more vibrant in the original.
