Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter in the original. Condition: Unexamined out of its frame, this work is in very good condition. There is evidence of light rubbing along the upper edge. There are pinholes along the upper edge and one towards the centre of the lower edge, all of which are possibly original. Very close inspection reveals a few faint folding creases isolated towards the edges. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
