Condition

There are a few paint remnants from the overmount to some parts of the extreme edges, not visible when framed. There are some very light creases to the lower half of the sheet. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition. Colours: The paper tone is whiter and the blacks are deeper in the original, compared to the printed catalogue.
