Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original, with the blue in the lower half of the composition tending more towards turquoise green.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Upon very close inspection, there are a few extremely fine isolated tension cracks in places to the extreme edges and corners. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
