Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. The catalogue illustration doesn't show the 5 centimetre wide soft cream margins visible in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals a very faint media accretion in the margin towards the centre of the right edge, not affecting the main image. Visible only upon extremely close inspection in raking light, there is a faint rubmark in the upper right quadrant. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
