Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the highly glossy painted surface apparent in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Upon very close inspection, there is a minute spot of wear to the bottom right extreme corner tip and a tiny loss to the centre of the extreme top edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
