Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the whites tend more towards true white and the blacks are inkier in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals some minute and unobtrusive specks of paint loss in isolated places on the extreme outer edges and to the extreme corner tips. There are some hairline tension cracks running intermittently along the extreme outer edges. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
