Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and the sheet tends more towards cream in the original work.
This work was inspected framed.
The sheet is slightly ondulated on the lower part of the work, due to the gluing method used by the artist. The edges are slightly dirty, and the upper edge presents some slight discolouration, visible only under close inspection. Finally, there are few, slight watermarks located on the upper left quadrant, probably intrinsic to the artist's process.
This work is in very good condition.
