Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the printed catalogue illustration. There are tiny cracks located on the left and right rims of the canvas and there are faint wear marks to the lower left corner. Under UV light inspection, very tiny scattered areas fluoresce in the upper left quadrant towards the edge and on the rim of the upper edge and upper right corner. This work is in very good condition.
