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 thick wove paper. Four artist's pinholes are visible upon very close inspection at each of the four corners. A minor light water stain (approx.5 x 5 mm, located 26,5 cm from the right edge and 2 cm from the upper edge) is visible under close inspection. The back of the sheet has been painted by the artist with light grey gouache. This work is in very good condition.
