Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone tends more towards cream and there are more purple undertones to the figure in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the front mount at the two top corners. All four edges of the sheet are strengthened with brown tape, visible behind the mount and original to the work's creation. There are a number of artist's pin holes scattered along the edges of the sheet. There are some faint handling marks scattered throughout the work, most likely original to the works creation, and some very light surface dirt along all four edges, visible beneath the mount.
