Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration. The work was inspected framed. The edges are slightly uneven, inherent to the medium, and the lower edge presents two small wears. There is a very small wear mark located on the upper left edge, visible only under close inspection. This work is in very good condition.
