Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in good condition. There are a few small media accretions towards the lower right corner which are possibly original and are visible in the catalogue illustration. Very close inspection reveals some light and unobtrusive surface dirt in places. Close inspection reveals a small area of restoration on the extreme left-facing edge of the board, approximately 10cm. from the upper left corner tip.
