Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the red is brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals an extremely faint and unobtrusive vertical rub mark running intermittently along the centre of the right side edge. Extremely close inspection reveals two minute specks of paint loss, one towards the centre of the right side edge, and one towards the top left corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
