Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals minor and unobtrusive wear to the lower left and right corner tips. Very close inspection reveals some very fine and stable cracks in isolated places. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals a small patch that fluoresces darker around the signature.
