Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the background is bluer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a minute speck of loss to the figure's left underarm. Close inspection reveals some splash accretions to the overturn of the top edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
