Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are accurate.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is very light wear to the top right and bottom left corners. Close inspection reveals a few networks of stable and very thin hairline craquelure to some of the white areas. No restoration is apparent under ultra-violet light.
