Condition
The photograph is too dark, especially on the printed catalogue. Colors are actually much brighter. Some light colors are slightly faded but most of them are still vivid, especially the blue areas. Very few distressed areas. Some areas of repaired reweaving in the sky (clouds) and possibly in the red areas. It is lining. This tapestry is in very good and stable restored condition, ready to display.
