Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the aquamarine is brighter in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a very thin and stable crack to the interior top right edge consistent with the join of the frame, with a very small associated spot of paint loss. No restoration is visible under ultraviolet light.
