Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is lighter in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals light wear to the bottom left and right corners. There is a very minor spot of paint loss to the centre of the right edge of the hexagonal board and a further minute paint loss towards the centre. No restoration is apparent under ultra violet light.
