Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the pink background is deeper and more saturated, the green background tends more towards a bright mint green and the pitchfork handles tend more towards orange in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of extremely minor wear to the extreme upper corner tips and towards the lower left corner of the pink panel. Extremely close inspection reveals two tiny and very unobtrusive circular hairline cracks in lower part of the green panel, not affecting the main image. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
