The colours are fairly accurate in the printed catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is brighter and the red area tends more to orange in the original work. The rims of the work are covered by the frame. Very faint paint shrinkage is located throughout the surface, some of which are visible in the catalogue illustration. This work is in very good condition.
