Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the blues have less magenta undertones in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is laid down on board. All four edges are deckled. Very close inspection reveals some faint rub marks to the lower two and upper right corner tip. Further very close inspection reveals some tiny spots of discoloration in isolated places, most notably towards the upper edge and some light handling marks to the upper right corner tip.
