Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is minor wear to the lower two extreme corner tips. In the light blue pigment at the centre and far right of the top edge, there are superficial, fine hairline cracks that are visible only on close inspection. There are a small number tiny media accretions towards the centre of the right edge, another to the centre of the top extreme edge, and a few extremely minor speck scattered elsewhere. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
