Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, althoughthe overall tonality is slightly cooler in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the backing board in numerous places. Close inspection out of its frame reveals some discoloration to all four edges and a short repaired tear to the upper right hand corner tip, and some tiny nicks to the extreme left hand edge. Further close inspection reveals a small stain to the lower centre left of the composition.
