Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the tonality of the sky tends more towards pink in the original. Condition: This work is in good condition. There is wear to the extreme lower edge, with two associated surface losses. Close inspection reveals a pinhead-sized perforation towards the centre of the upper edge, approximately 8 centimetres from the upper edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
