Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the illustration does not convey the relief on the surface. Under close inspection, there is a light discolouration visible in the lower left corner due to tape on the reverse. Light dirt marks are located near the lower edge. Under very close inspection, light rub marks are visible near the right edge in the middle. This work is in good condition.
