Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant and the black area towards the right-facing edge is actually dark green in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a few fine hairline cracks and minute media accretions in a few isolated places. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
