Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration. Under very close inspection, pinholes in each of the four corners and very think cracks on the black ink due to the technique and normal aging are visible. Moreover, very thin cracks and one small paint loss are located on the white paint on the tip of the lower and upper right corners This work is in very good condition.
