Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is less bright and the red is deeper in the original work. Moreover, the image does not accurately convey the light gold patina of the top element. Few minor paint losses concentrated mainly on the red element, as visible in the catalogue illustration.
