Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner in 1991

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the paper tone tends more towards cream in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet appears to be mounted on a backing sheet and all four edges are uneven. A thin margin of mount staining is visible along all four edges. Upon very close inspection there are a number of minute pinprick-sized fox marks around the extreme edges of the sheet.
