Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the yellow tends more towards orange and the red is brighter in the original work. The red paint presents some thin, superficial cracks, mainly located on the upper right quadrant. The edges and the surface present wear marks, some of which have been carefully restored and consolidated and are visible under Ultra Violet light inspection.
