Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the tonality of the yellow is brighter and more vibrant and the gold moon is a bright metallic gold foil in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are two minute media accretions towards the lower left corner of the most bottom panel in the second column. There is very minor wear to some of the extreme tips of the frames.
