Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in good condition. There is light wear to all four corners and intermittent wear along all four extreme edges with light canvas draw in the lower right hand corner. Upon close inspection, there are three tiny spots of loss on the right edge; one towards the top right hand corner, one to the centre and another towards the lower right hand corner. There are several fine scattered cracks in places, notably towards the centre and bottom of the left edge, towards the top right hand corner and towards the centre of the right edge. Visible upon close inspection, there is a fine horizontal rub mark towards the centre-left of the lower edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
