Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality contains fewer magenta undertones in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of light wear to the lower right and upper left corner tips. Close inspection reveals a small number of tiny and unobtrusive losses along the upper edge and one towards the center of the lower left quadrant. All other surface irregularities appear to be original. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
