Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a pinprick-sized scuff mark to the extreme left edge, approximately 20cm from the upper left corner tip and very light wear to the lower right corner tip. Visible only when examined upon extremely close inspection in raking light, there are a few very faint, shallow and unobtrusive surface scratches isolated in places.
