Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant, with the blue tending more towards a rich baby blue in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a tiny shallow indentation visible on close inspection to the top of the right extreme edge. There is a very light handling mark at the centre of the right edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
