Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is warmer in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the three-dimensionality of the work, apparent in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are nail holes in all four corners, original to the work's execution. Upon close inspection, the lower and upper right extreme corner tips are very slightly bent. There is a very faint, minor spot of rubbing towards the centre of the lower edge.
