Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the red and the gold are slightly darker in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals some light discoloration in places along the edges and there are some light fingerprints and unobtrusive irregularities to the golden strip, which is possibly original.
