Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of very light wear to the extreme corner tips, and a tiny rubmark along the left hand edge, towards the upper left corner. Extremely close inspection reveals a small number of tiny, unobtrusive and stable hairline cracks in a few isolated places. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
