Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality tends more towards red in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals some faint rub marks to all four extreme corner tips. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
