Condition

Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly softer and warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is very minor wear to all four corner tips and in places to the extreme edges, most notably to the centre and left centre of the bottom edge. There is a 3 cm very faint rub mark to the lower left quadrant towards the left extreme edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
