Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there are more green undertones to the lower half and the red is more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some light wear to the corner tips and a small loss to the lower left corner tip of the upper panel. Further close inspection reveals a small tear towards the lower centre of the photograph and a few unobtrusive surface irregularities in places, which appear to be original. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
