Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is richer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Visible only in raking light, there is evidence of handling in places. Close inspection reveals an unstable crack towards the centre of the extreme right side edge, and some light surface dirt towards the centre of the upper edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
