Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the image does not convey the texture of the original work. The top angles present slight wear marks at the extremities. One small area presents slight stabilized cracks - located 28 cm from the upper edge and 2 cm from the right edge - and is visible under very close inspection. There is a small white retouching (approx 1.5 cm x 0.4 cm) located in this area. This work is in very good condition.
