Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although they are more vibrant in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a few thin cracks, scratches and losses in places to the protruding edges. There are further losses and surface irregularities to the extreme outer edges where the window panel has been detached from its support, which appear to be original. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
