Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality contains fewer magenta undertones in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good and original condition. The black tape to the upper left corner tip of the photograph is slightly loose. Close inspection reveals some light surface dirt in places. All other surface irregularities are likely to be inherent to the artist's choice of medium.
