Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of handling to the corner tips. Close inspection reveals two minute media accretion towards the centre of the lower left quadrant, and some light surface dirt towards the lower right and upper left quadrants. Extremely close inspection reveals a few minute cracks isolated in the black pigment. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
