Condition
This work appears to be in generally good overall condition. Colours are fairly accurate but fail in rendering the sparkle gold. There is a cast crack inherent to the artist's choice of media on the upper edge. There are two minor and superficial losses along the lower left edge. There are few small losses: one on the left horse face, two on the right horse with raider and one on the lower left human figure leg.
