Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly deeper and richer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a few very faint scuff marks in intermittent places along the extreme top overturn edge and a superficial and short scuff mark towards the lower right hand corner tip. Further extremely close inspection reveals some tiny media accretions in isolated places throughout, most notably one to the centre of the top extreme overturn edge, which look to be original. No restoration is apparent when examined in ultra-violet light.
