Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone of the lower panel is slightly darker in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals some frame rubbing to the top left hand corner of the bottom element and a few tiny specks of black media, which look to be original, also to the bottom element.
