Condition

Executed on paper, not laid down, attached to the mount intermittently along all four edges, and floating in the mount. There is a tiny, barely visible diagonal crease to the lower left corner. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, but slightly more nuanced in the original.
