Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount in the top two corners, floating in the mount. There are two perforation holes to the left edge, intrinsic to the nature of the support (visible in the catalogue illustration). There is a minor tear to the centre of the top edge and several tiny nicks to the right of the top and bottom edges and one to the top left corner. Apart from two small areas of adhesive residue towards the lower left and right corners on the reverse, this work is in good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate, although the paper tone is slightly warmer in the original.
