Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tends more towards a pale yellow in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places and the left edge is slightly deckled. Extremely close inspection reveals some very minor wear to the two right hand corner tips, as well as very light discolouration to the extreme outer edges. There are a few minute media accretions scattered in places, which are likely inherent to the artists working process.
