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. Close inspection reveals some evidence of wear to all four edges. Further close inspection reveals a few hairline cracks in places, with two associated specks of paint loss; one to the left extreme outer edge, approximately 15cm from the upper left corner, and another one towards the centre of the upper right quadrant. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
