Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly deeper and richer in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is minor wear to the raised edges of the cut, and a few small, light rub marks in places. On very close examination there is a very small and unobtrusive surface loss to the lower part of the front side, which appears to have been retouched. There is a minute, pin-head sized chip to the lower part of the left side, and some inconsistent pigment strokes are visible to the underside.
