Condition
The panel is sound and all the elements are secure. There are some fine lines of craquelure to the white base, the larger white element, and some barely visible ones to the blue element. There are some minor handling marks to the edges of the white base. This work is in overall good condition and there do not appear to be any retouchings visible under UV light.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the blue is slightly lighter in the original.
