Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the white is lighter and the red tends slightly more towards pink in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals a small and unobtrusive pencil mark towards the upper right corner. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals a small spot of fluorescence to the right edge, approximately 50 cm. from the lower right corner, where a small impact appears to have been restored.
