Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the background is a slightly lighter shade of pink in the original. The catalogue illustration also fails to fully convey the shimmering nature of the diamond dust visible in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There are a few unobtrusive spots of wear and handling scattered in isolated places to the extreme outer edges. Very close inspection reveals a stable tension crack running intermittently along the extreme outer edges. Extremely close inspection reveals a very thin and short hairline crack to the upper right heart. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
