Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly richer and more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a very thin and unobtrusive tension crack running intermittently along the vertical edges. Further very close inspection reveals a pinhead-sized media accretion towards the centre of the left edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
