Colour: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the tonality of the cream paper is slightly brighter in the original work. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a horizontal patch of discolouration along the top edge, visible in the catalogue illustration, as well as some unobtrusive ageing to the paper throughout.
