Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the blue is warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is wear to all four corners and a superficial layer of dust in places throughout. Close inspection reveals some minor abrasions and nicks in isolated places throughout, most notably to the centre of the right edge. There are small losses to the edges of the light blue windows and some minor discolouration to the blue. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
