Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. As is evident in the catalogue illustration, close inspection reveals minute paint losses to the bases of four nails: two towards the centre bottom edge and two towards the bottom right corner. No restoration is apparent under ultra-violet light.
