Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a small rub mark to the upper centre of the composition and a few pin prick-sized fly spots scattered throughout. Upon close inspection, there are three tiny faint media accretions; one left of centre in the top left quadrant, one to the top left side of the lower right quadrant and another to the white pigment on the left side of the lower edge, in between the blue and green stripes. There is an extremely fine short vertical scratch at the centre of the lower edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
