The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and richer in the original, with the top two 'R' and central 'v' squares tending more towards a deep canary yellow in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is a tiny loose thread to the baby blue thread of the letter "R" at the centre of the left extreme edge, and a further loose thread to the pale purple thread of the letter "I" adjacent to the top left corner on the top extreme edge.
