Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals several minute spots of media accretion scattered throughout and a very minor horizontal rub mark extending approximately 1cm towards the lower right edge. Examination under ultra-violet light reveals areas of restoration in places towards the right edge and to the left of the bottom left quadrant.
