Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly deeper and richer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a few minute specks of loss and some very faint and superficial rub marks in isolated places. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
