Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is lighter in the original. The work is executed on a cream sheet of paper floating in the mount. The left edge is originally irregularly cut. A few pinhead sized dots of oxidation are visible under close inspection. A light water stain located along the upper edge and 9 cm from the extremity of the right edge is only visble under close inspection. This work is in good condition.
