Condition
Colour : The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the red tone is slightly brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the backing board in numerous places and undulates slightly. The upper horizontal edge is slightly unevenly cut. Extremely close inspection reveals dog ears to the two upper extreme corner tips and a tiny nick to the lower centre of the extreme right hand edge.
