Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly cooler and the contrasts are slightly softer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the backing mount at intervals on the reverse and there are scattered artist’s pinholes in all four corners and to the centre of the top edge. The vertical extreme edges are deckled. Upon close inspection there are a few short horizontal tears to the left extreme edge, and a diagonal flattened crease on the lower right corner, all of which appear original to the artist’s working process.
