Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly darker in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some tension cracks in isolated places, a hairline crack along the centre of the right edge and a small cluster of faint cracks to the lower right corner of the central square protrusion. Inspection under ultra-violet light reveals a speck of retouching to the tip of this corner.
