Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality contains fewer magenta undertones in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Visible only when unframed is some very light and unobtrusive discolouration to the margins, not affecting the main image.
