Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the printed catalogue illustration. There is a tiny chip to the tip of the upper left corner. Inspection under UV light reveals two small spots of in-painting that fluoresce. One to the lower left corner and I one towards the lower right corner. The work is in very good condition.
