Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer with the yellow tending more towards a warm yellow-orange in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The top edge is slightly uneven, original to the work's execution. There are light spots of wear in places along the extreme top edge of the left-hand blue section and to the extreme top edge and right edge of the right-hand red section. There are some very light scratches in places. There is a very light rub mark to the top edge, where the red and yellow sections join.
