Condition

Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is softer in the original, with cleaner whites to the background. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Upon very close inspection, some very light wear is noticeable to the four extreme corner tips. A number of minute hairline tension cracks are present along the four extreme overturn edges, resulting in a few isolated specks of pinprick-sized media loss. There is a tiny discoloured media accretion 1cm in from the lower right corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
