Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is brighter, more vibrant and contains fewer magenta undertones in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet has been laid down on canvas. Visible only when examined out of its frame is some frame rubbing with a few associated specks of loss in places. Close inspection reveals a few very thin, hairline cracks with associated light flaking in places. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
