Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to convey the reflective mirrored surface apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is a tiny spot of wear to the extreme lower left corner tip of the frame, and a few tiny nicks to the centre of the frame's top edge.
