Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals very minor wear to the corners, the extreme left edge towards the top left corner, and to the top edge. There is a very faint and unobtrusive rub mark extending towards the top right corner and three minute rub marks towards the bottom centre of the extreme left edge. Examination under ultra-violet light reveals a very small area of restoration towards the bottom left corner, and another towards the centre of the bottom edge.
