Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is slightly brighter in the original work. Few pinholes in each of the four corners are only visible under very close inspection. Under Ultra Violet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. This work is in excellent condition.
