Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly richer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the window mount along the upper edge. All four edges are very slightly deckled. Visible only when unframed, there is some light and even mount staining along the extreme outer edges. Very close inspection reveals a few isolated handling creases scattered in places.
