Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the background of the leftmost panel tends more towards mint. Condition: This work is in very good and original condition. There are scuffs and marks to the edges of the found frames, which are original. Close inspection reveals some yellowing to the edges of the paper elements. Further close inspection reveals some marks, losses and drying cracks to the leftmost painted element, which are likely to be original. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
