Colours: The colours are fairly accurate athough the colour of the wall is more emerald in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is paint shrinkage and stable drying cracks scattered in places throughout, notably to the second draw down of the wardrobe and to the brown pigment of the window frame. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
