Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the paper tone has fewer magenta undertones in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is held between the glass and the backing board and is irregularly cut. There are artist's pinholes to all four corners and some handling marks towards the edges, as well as the upper tip of the figure. Very close inspection reveals some very faint and unobtrusive discolouration to the felt tip pen in places.
