Condition
Painted and partially glazed ceramic tile. There are some very fine lines of craquelure to the glaze, consistent with the firing process. Otherwise this work is in overall very good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the black is slightly less prominent in the original.
