Condition

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to the mount in all four corners and at one point to the centre of the work, floating in the mount. There is some very light time staining to the extreme edges of the sheet. Otherwise, this work is in very good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although the paper tone is creamer and less warm in the original and the blacks are stronger.
