Condition
Colour:
The catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the illustration fails to fully convey the shimmer of the diamond dust apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is light wear in the top two extreme corner tips and fine tension cracks running intermittently along all four extreme edges. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
