Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there are fewer magenta undertones to the paper tone and to the black writing and the blue and yellow are brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in intermittent places along all four edges. There are artist's pinholes to the upper left and right corners. Extremely close inspection reveals some very light handling marks along the upper and right edges, which are likely to be original.
