Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone is warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition.

There is a pin-prick sized nick to the paper at the bottom half of the left extreme edge. There are a small number of fine creases; most noticeably one towards the top right corner, a horizontal one towards the bottom right corner and a further vertical crease tin the centre of the bottom left quadrant.
