Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly more muted in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the weave of the embroidery apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is some light fading to the light blue and cream thread. There is a loose thread in the pink of the 'L' in the second row from the bottom.
