Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a handling mark to the extreme right outer edge near the centre. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals a few scattered areas of fluorescence to the upper half of the right edge, which are not consistent with retouching and are very faintly visible to the naked eye.
