Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the photographs contain more cyan undertones and the papertone tends more towards a soft cream in the original.
Condition:
Unexamined without its frame, this work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a few extremely faint and unobtrusive media accretions and light discolouration isolated in the margins, not affecting the main image.
