Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the background is slightly lighter in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Visible only upon extremely close inspection are some very fine and unobtrusive tension cracks to the upper left corner tip, and a tiny speck of superficial paint loss to one of the upper layers of red paint towards the centre of the lower right quadrant. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
