Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly deeper in the original. The catalogue illustration also fails to fully convey the richly textured surface of the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals evidence of light wear to the lower two corner tips. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
