Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the green towards the lower right corner is brighter in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is some evidence of wear to the extreme outer edges and corner tips. Close inspection reveals a short scratch with an associated minute speck of loss to the centre of the lower edge, and a further, pinhead sized speck of paint loss to an area of thicker paint immediately to the left of this. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
