Condition
Executed on cream wove card, not laid down, attached to the mount in all four corners and at intervals along all four edges, floating in the mount. Apart from two very small areas of light discolouration towards the centre of the upper edge, this work is in very good condition.
Colours: The yellows are much stronger, especially in the upper area and in the brown area which is much brighter in the original. The tones in the lower area are overall much deeper in the original.
