Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals four minute fly-spots scattered towards the centre of the upper left quadrant, and two very minor and faint media accretions towards the centre and lower left edge. There is a very faint vertical rub mark to the centre of the oval and another smaller rub mark to the centre-left of the oval. No restoration is apparent under ultra violet light.
