Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly lighter and brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso the backing board in numerous places and undulates slightly. The two horizontal and the left vertical edges are deckled. Close inspection reveals some tiny nicks in isolated places to the edges and some faint creases in places throughout.
