Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly warmer and richer, with the pale green tending towards deep green in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. It is hinged to the backing board in the top two corners. There are four artist's pinholes, one towards each corner of the paper. The paper is slightly wavy throughout. There are light handling creases scattered in places throughout and one slightly deeper diagonal crease running towards the top edge.The overall paper tone has discoloured slightly with a further area of slightly darker discolouration towards the top of the extreme left-hand edge, hidden by the mount. There is a small circular media accretion towards the lower centre of the left-hand edge and a very faint blue media accretion towards the bottom right-hand corner. There is a tiny spot of paper lifting towards the top of the extreme right-hand edge and very light wear to the top two corner tips.
