Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is richer and more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of wear to the lower two corner tips and a faint handling mark on the facing edge, approximately 70cm from the lower right corner. Very close inspection reveals extremely thin and stable tension cracks running intermittently along the extreme vertical edges. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
