Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is cooler in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is extremely minor wear to all four corner tips. Close inspection reveals a small number of tiny fine cracks above the darker grey pigment towards the top edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
