Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the greys tend more towards pure white. The illustration fails to convey the reflective quality of the silk. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is some very light wear towards the extreme upper left edge and a very small media accretion to the overturn edge towards the bottom left corner.
