Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there are fewer yellow undertones and the tonality of the drawn lines is deeper and richer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the mount in the upper two corners. The left edge is irregular. There are artist's pinholes in the upper two corners and a few faint handling creases towards the edges.
