The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the background tends more towards a soft cream, and the spots are slightly brighter in the original.

This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of light handling to the extreme outer edges. The white background is slightly uneven which is original to the works execution. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
