Condition
The colours are lighter and more vivid in the original work than in the catalogue's illustration.
With the exception of a careful restauration (3cm x 2 cm) located on the rim of the work and some thin craquelures located under the head of the white "nana", visible under close-up inspection, this work is in excellent condition.
