Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in good condition. Close inspection reveals some wear to the top right corner and two small losses to the centre of the top edge. There is a consolidated tear approximately 20 centimeters from the bottom left corner and a small loss and associated star crack just above this. There are minute specks of media accretions in isolated places; notably towards the bottom left and bottom right corners and the centre of the right edge. No further restoration is apparent under ultra-violet light.
