Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Upon very close inspection, there are two minute specks of loss; one towards the top left corner on the left extreme edge and another towards the bottom left corner on the left extreme edge. There is very light wear to the bottom left corner tip and intermittent tension cracks along the right and lower extreme edges. Examination under ultra-violet light reveals spots that fluoresce along the top and bottom edges and two vertical lines that fluoresce in the top right hand quadrant.
