Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original, particularly to the red and green areas.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are artist's pinholes in all four corners. There is very minor rubbing to the extreme tip of the top right corner. No restoration is apparent under ultra-violet light.
