Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is warmer in the original, with the yellow tending more to sunshine yellow, and the pink passages a stronger shade of baby pink.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is some very light wear in places along the four extreme edges and to the corner tips. There is an extremely fine, unobtrusive orange rub mark (approximately 5 cm. long) running diagonally below the white paint passage in the upper left quadrant.
No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
