Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the background is warmer and brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is wear to the lower left and right and top right extreme corner tips. There is a faint unobtrusive rub mark ( approximately 7 cm. long) in the upper right corner. There are some light handling marks and some light surface dirt to the extreme turnover edges and to places on the side edges. There is a very small shallow canvas indentation to the left side of the lower extreme edge and four pinprick-sized pale fly spots in the lower right quadrant, adjacent to the lower right corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
