Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in the upper two corners. The right edge is slightly deckled. Close inspection reveals a few extremely faint and unobtrusive creases towards the edges and a media accretion in the lower right corner, all of which are likely to be original. The adhesive in the upper two corners has yellowed slightly overt.mes , which is faintly visible in transparency.
