Condition
In generale l'opera è in buone condizioni. Sotto la lampada a raggi UV è visibile una integrazione di una probabile fessura di cottura che attraversa la parte posteriore del cavallo. Vi è un craquelure probabilmente di cottura lungo la coda. I colori dell'illustrazione sono fedeli all'originale.
This work appears to be in generally good overall condition. Under UV light is visible a possible firing crack, which extends along the reverse of the horse. There is a thin firing craquelure along the tail. The illustration's colours are fair to the original.
