Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the blue is deeper and richer in tone in the original. The illustration fails to fully convey the surface texture of the felt apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is very light surface dirt to the lighter areas of felt in the top half of the composition. Upon extremely close inspection a minute hole is visible towards the lower right corner.
