Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more saturated in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of extremely minor wear to the lower right corner tip. Extremely close inspection in raking light reveals a small number of very faint and unobtrusive media accretions in a few isolated places. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
