Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is warmer and richer in the original, with more prominent turquoise tones in the top third of the composition. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Upon very close inspection, there is very minor wear to the top left and lower right corner tips, with extremely fine intermittent tensions cracks along all four extreme edges. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
