Colours:

The red in the lower left corner tends more towards a cadmium scarlet and the yellow across the bottom of the of the top right quadrant more to lime green in the original.

The work is in very good condition. There are a few isolated pinprick-sized minute dark pigment specks scattered across the upper horizontal section of the composition visible only upon close inspection.
