Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is lighter and softer in the original. The work is in stable condition and executed on buff-coloured paper. The sheet is taped to the mount on the reverse along the upper edge. Discoloration to the sheet is visible around the image, when the sheet is off the liner. Light foxing dots are visible upon very close inspection on the image.
