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 some light wear to the left hand edge and corners. Extremely close inspection reveals a pinhead-sized media accretion and a very short and thin hairline scratch towards the centre of the lower edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
