Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the reds are brighter and have no yellow undertones in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals some evidence of light handling to the lower right corner and light rubbing to the upper left corner. Further close inspection reveals a minute and unobtrusive speck of loss to the upper right edge, approximately 6cm from the upper right corner tip. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
