Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the printed catalogue illustration. The rims of the work are covered by framing tape. Few tiny pinholes are located in the corners and visible upon very close inspection only. The upper and lower left corners are slightly undulated. There are faint glue traces located along the outer edges due to the lay down technique and framing tape. This work is in very good condition.
