Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are signs of light wear to the extreme outer edges, with associated thin hairline cracks in places and a few tiny specks of loss, notably to the centre of the right edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
