Condition
The board is stable. UV inspection reveals a scattering of tiny retouchings to the lower left quadrant. There is a small arrow shaped cut to the board which is slightly lifting to the lower centre, approximately 1.5cm in diameter, not visually distracting and possibly intrinsic to the support. Overall this work is in good condition.
The colours in the printed catalogue are fairly accurate although the original is brighter.
