Condition
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and more vibrant in the original.
This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a very faint horizontal rub mark towards the centre of the bottom edge of the top left panel, one towards the bottom right corner of the top centre panel, and a very small number of very minor and faint rub marks in places to the black metal frames.
