Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly richer and deeper in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Upon very close inspection there is some extremely light wear in a few places around the extreme edges. There are a few pale yellow media accretions below the centre of the right extreme edge and an extremely faint spot of discolouration beneath the centre of the left extreme edge. No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
