Condition: This works is in very good condition. There are some tiny coloured specks of wear to each corner at the turnover edge and to the centre of the extreme left edge. There are further minute coloured specks to the surface towards the upper left, upper right and lower right corners.

All of the above are unobtrusive and are only visible upon very close inspection. No restoration is apparent under ultra-violet light.
