Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the backing board in the top two upper corner tips and undulates slightly. There is some light discolouration to the left and right edges, most notably towards the upper right corner. Extremely close inspection reveals two minute and unobtrusive cuts to the lower edge, which are likely to be original.
