Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a thin and stable vertical crack inside the artist's cut, a further very small crack to the centre of the right edge and another very small one 3cm below that, all visible in the catalogue illustration and inherent to the artist's choice of media.
