Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality has more yellow undertones in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some wear with associated minute and stable cracks to all four corners and in isolated places on the extreme outer edges. Further close inspection reveals a tiny and unobtrusive speck of loss to the lower left edge, approximately 5cm from the lower left corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
