Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original work.
Condition:
There is intermittent wear with associated losses and cracks along all four edges. There are several networks of fine cracking in places throughout the composition. Light surface dirt is apparent in the top third of the composition. Examination under ultra-violet light reveals lines that fluoresce along the extreme outer edges.
