Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the three-dimensionality of the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is minor wear in a few isolated places around the extreme edges of the frame, with tiny chips to the top and lower edges, and paint losses with associated cracking in the lower left front and reverse corners. Some light surface dirt and material fibres are adhering to the surface throughout. No restoration is apparent under ultra-violet light.
