Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is warmer and richer, with more prominent yellow undertones in the cream and white hues in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There are a few extremely fine hairline tension cracks in isolated places, including the left side of the top overturn edge and the centre of the right extreme overturn edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
