Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the unpainted areas tend more towards a light cream in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing mount in several places. There is a faint crease along the upper edge and the overall tonality has slightly discoloured over time.
