Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. It is taped to the mount along all four edges. There is very light discolouration to some of the paper tears running centrally along the sheet. There is a tiny speck of skinning towards the centre left edge and a further one to the lower left hand corner. There is a very faint rub mark at the right edge by the text in the bottom right hand corner and a very faint handling mark to the lower left hand corner. There is a minute green media accretion below the signature, visible only upon close inspection.
