Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the reds are deeper and richer and the white background is whiter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a small number of small and faint media accretions in places, and a few cracks to the edges of the embroidery, which is in keeping with the artist's choice of media and working process. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
