Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the white tends more towards true white in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals some very minor and unobtrusive wear to the lower extreme corner tips. Further very close inspection reveals a faint stretcher bar mark impression towards the lower left corner and to the upper left corner tip. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
