Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the sheet tends more towards cream in the original work.
The work was inspected framed.
The sheet is slightly wavy near the right edge. There is one small tear that has been carefully restored visible on the left edge, 10 cm from the upper left corner. The upper edge presents light traces coherent with a former frame or fixing. There is a small stain by the lower edge, visible in the catalogue illustration.
This work is in very good condition.
