Condition
The colours in the printed catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although they seem more contrasted than in the original work. The work is executed on cream paper. The sheet is taped by the edges to the window mount. There are two superficial scratches visible under close inspection: one in the lower left corner and one in the upper half of the composition towards the center. This work is in very good condition.
