Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is held in place by corner pockets attached to the window mount. Close inspection reveals extremely minute creases to the corner tips, a short diagonal graze to the left of the upper edge, a very short tear towards the centre of the left vertical edge, and minor mount staining at the extreme edges: all the above is only apparent when the work is unframed and taken out of its mount.
