Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals evidence of light wear and rubbing scattered in a few isolated places along the extreme outer edges, and a further very thin, shallow and unobtrusive surface scratch towards the centre of the lower right quadrant. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
