Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is cooler with less orange undertones in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is held at all four corners in photo pockets. Very close inspection of its frame reveals a minute media accretion in the margin towards the lower right hand corner. Very close inspection reveals some superficial scuffs and scratches to the surface of the print, most notably towards the lower left corner.
