Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is lighter and brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals a few thin tension cracks running intermittently along the extreme edges. Extremely close inspection reveals a minute and unobtrusive media accretion to the extreme right edge, approximately 70 cm from the upper right corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
