Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are reasonably accurate, although the overall tonality is far brighter and much more vibrant in the original. The powder blue tends more towards a pale lavener; the red tends more towards a bright post box red; the blue tends more towards a bright navy; the yellow/green tends more towards a luminous apple green and the darker green tends more towards a deep forest green. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are tiny specs of dust adhering to the surface. There is a pin head-sized depression in the very centre of the composition. There are two tiny media accretions; one towards the centre left of the bottom left corner and one towards the centre of the right extreme edge.
