Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to a board along all four edges. The left edge is deckled, there is a tiny crease in the lower left corner, which does not interfere with the signature. There is some very minor wear to the extreme lower right edge. Otherwise this work is in overall very good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the purples are slightly less prominent in the original, especially on the part to the left of the frame.
