Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is brighter. Some stable superficial hairline cracks are located in the center and visible upon very close inspection only. Small traces of restoration are visible along the left edge. No other traces of restoration are visible under Ultra Violet light inspection. This work is in very good condition.
