Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is richer in the original, and the charcoal is stronger.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the window mount along the upper edge. The upper, lower and right edges are deckled and the left edge is irregular. Only visible when unframed is some extremely light mount staining to the right edge of the sheet.
