Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the red tends more towards fluorescent orange and the grey of the background is warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a tiny hole to the top of the red wool section on the left side of the left panel, another loose thread to the centre of the red wool on the left panel, and two loose threads to the lower part of the left edge of the right panel. There is a further pulled thread with a tiny hole to the bottom of the "B" letter towards the left corner on the lower extreme edge.
