Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is warmer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places and undulates. There is evidence of handling along the edges, which is likely to be original. There is a thin, diagonal crease to the lower right corner. Extremely close inspection reveals a fine and unobtrusive line of faint adhesive residue along the lower edge.
