Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, laid down on canvas. There are pinholes intermittently along all four edges, predominantly on the tape covering the extreme edges of the sheet. There is a 0.5cm paper loss towards the lower right edge, partially visible when framed. There is a very slight undulation to the upper right and lower left corners, due to the laying down process. The colours are fresh and vibrant, and this work is in overall good condtion.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the pinks are richer in the original.
