Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a small speck of loss to the extreme lower right corner tip. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
