Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the white tends more towards a soft cream in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a few tiny specks of loss to the extreme outer overturn edges of some of the frames, some of which have been consolidated or restored and do not affect the main image.
