Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality tends more towards pure white in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to convey fully the three dimensionality of the relief apparent in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Upon very close inspection a few minute isolated dust fibres are adhering in places to the relief. Some light dust fibres have accumulated over time along the lower edge of the frame. There are a few rub marks and tiny media loses scattered in places around the exterior of the frame. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
