Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly deeper and richer, and the two long red lines tend more towards a reflective metallic copper in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a very minor rub mark approximately 4 cm long towards the centre left of the bottom edge, and another to the centre of the left edge. No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
