Condition
Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the whites are much brighter in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are two very faint red media accretions beneath the centre right of the top edge. There are tension cracks in places along the left, right and bottom edges with associated specks of paint loss predominantly to the right turnover edge. There is very light wear to all four corners with associated paint loss to both extreme lower corner tips. There are several light light rub marks: one to the left edge towards the bottom corner; one to the bottom edge towards the left corner; one to the bottom right hand corner; and one towards the centre of the bottom edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
