Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone is lighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places. The upper edge is irregularly cut and there are artistÂ’s pinholes in all four corners. Close inspection reveals a few handling creases in places, notable in the top right corner, likely inherent to the artistÂ’s working process.
