Condition
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light. There are several very tiny spots of paint loss in the dark green paint in the centre, the upper left section orange and in the upper right green area. Very minor craquelures in the orange on the upper left part, the dark green in the upper and lower right part. Otherwise this work seems to be in very good condition.
