Condition
Colour: The colours in the printed catalogue are fairly accurate although there are fewer yellow undertones in the original and the overall tonality is slightly deeper. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals some light and unobtrusive wear to the vertical edges. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
