Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there are less orange undertone in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the backing board in numerous places and undulates slightly. Very close inspection reveals two minute tears to the center of the extreme upper edge; two tiny dog ears to the upper and lower right corner tips; and a few very faint creases to the lower right and left corners.
