Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. The overall tonality is slightly brighter, more vibrant, and contains fewer magenta undertones in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of light wear to the lower two corner tips of the first panel, and to the center of the upper edge of the fifth panel, and to the lower right corner tip of the final panel. Close inspection reveals two tiny specks of loss on the extreme right facing edge of the final panel. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
