Condition

Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is warmer and richer with the background tending more towards cream in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a minute pin size media spot adhering to the centre of the bottom edge which is only visible upon very close inspection. No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
