Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, laid down on board. The board is very slightly bowed and the upper and right edges of the board are slightly unevenly cut. There are some scattered tiny specks of paint loss in places, mainly to the more thickly applied pigments of the figures' clothing and the guitar. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: Fairly accurate, although slightly less saturated in the original when compared to the printed catalogue illustration.
