Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly cooler in the original and the illustration fails to convey fully the three-dimensionality of the surface.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a very small and minor rub mark to the extreme tip of the bottom left corner, one towards the right centre of the top overturn edge, and several minor spots of media accretion in places to the surface. No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
