Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the green is much brighter and the brown deeper in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to convey the rich texture of the paint apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some wear to the extreme corner tips. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
