Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places. All four edges are slightly deckled and there is light undulation to the sheet. Upon extremely close inspection, there are some light dust fibres adhering to the glossy green pigment towards the lower left quadrant.
