Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals a few short, thin and unobtrusive cracks in isolated places. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra violet light.
