Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is lighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is very minor wear to all four corner tips. Close inspection in raking light reveals a faint and unobtrusive stretcher bar impression along the edges, with an associated hairline crack towards the lower left corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
