Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original, with the background tending more towards a fire engine red.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is wear to all four turnover edges with some associated glue residue. There are a few tiny and unobtrusive media accretions scattered in places. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
