Condition

The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Extremely close inspection reveals a very small number of tiny and unobtrusive isolated spots of wear and rubbing scattered in a few places. This work is in very good condition.
