Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
Close inspection reveals a few isolated hairline scratches and tiny nicks in places, with associated specks of paint loss. There are a few unobtrusive handling marks in places, notably to the light blue pigment, and a small number of minute media accretions towards the centre of the roof. There are a few small impacts to the extreme lower edge.
