The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the paper tones are warmer and the colours more vivid in the original.
Condition:
This work is good condition. The lower left, upper left and upper right sections of the paper are slightly lifted from the canvas. Close inspection reveals the paper has slightly yellowed, most notably to the upper and right edge, which is in keeping with the natural aging process.
