Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly deeper in the original. Condition: This work in good condition. Visible only upon extremely close inspection in raking light, there are a few extremely faint and unobtrusive handling creases isolated in places and one shallow surface scratch towards the centre of the upper left quadrant. Further close inspection reveals a faint drip mark on the upper edge, 20cm. from the upper right corner.
