Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the background colour tends more towards green in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection in raking light reveals some unobtrusive rub marks in isolated places. Further extremely close inspection reveals evidence of two small impacts to the extreme lower right edge.
