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. Upon close inspection there is extremely light wear to the lower two corner tips. Examination under ultra-violet light reveals a shot vertical line of retouching towards the centre of the top half of the composition and four further lines of retouching along the top half of the right extreme edge. There are further small spots of retouching scattered in places in the lower half of the composition.
