Condition

Executed on card, glued along all four edges to a board, which is very slightly warped though stable. UV examination reveals a few small lines and specks of retouching to the sky and a further few specks of retouching along the extreme right edge. There is some light surface dirt in places. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition. Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the contrasts are overall more subtle in the original.
