Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly lighter in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of wear and handling to the edges and corner tips, with some small associated specks of paint loss towards the upper two corner tips and some tension cracks running intermittently along the edges. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
