Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some light handling marks to the extreme edges and some tiny media accretions in isolated places. Very close inspection reveals some faint rub marks and some tiny spots of burnishing to the extreme lower edge and two tiny specks of loss; one to the extreme lower right hand corner tip and one towards the left hand corner tip. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
