Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There are hairline tension cracks along all four extreme edges, visible in the catalogue illustration. There is a small rub mark to the top right flower, and two tiny media accretions in the lower two flowers. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
