Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the green has a slightly warmer tone in the original and the illustration fails to convey fully the three-dimensionality of the surface.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a horizontal and very thin hairline rub mark extending approximately 5cm at the right edge towards the bottom right corner, and another diagonal one extending 3cm towards the left centre of the bottom edge, and a few flecks of media accretion. No restoration is apparent under ultra-violet light.
