Condition
The colours in the catalogue illustration are accurate although the illustration fails to convey fully the three-dimensional projecting figure.
This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a very small crack and minute loss towards the centre of the right edge of the shutter, which is evident in the catalogue illustration.
