Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the window mount in the upper two corners. Close inspection reveals some small and unobtrusive handling marks to the paper that appear to be original. Further close inspection reveals a minute tear towards the bottom of the left edge, and a tiny crease to the lower left corner tip.
