Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the whites on the upper half of the composition tend more towards true white and the whites on the lower half of the composition tend more towards light blue. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals some very faint and unobtrusive evidence of rubbing to the extreme upper edge approximately 30 cm. from the upper right corner and to the lower left corner. Visible only upon very close inspection, there is a minute speck of loss to the extreme lower right corner tip. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
