Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter in the original, and the yellow tends more towards neon.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places and undulates slightly. There are a few faint handling creases isolated in places. Extremely close inspection reveals a very short and unobtrusive tear to the left edge, approximately 3cm from the upper left corner.
