Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to the overmount along the upper edge. There is a 3cm diagonal flattened crease to the upper right corner. Apart from some light time staining to the extreme edges and a very thin 0,5cm stain to the extreme upper left edge, this work is in very good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate, although the paper tone is brighter in the original than in the printed catalogue.
