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 a few spots of light wear and handling to the edges and corner tips, notably the right corner tip. Extremely close inspection reveals a few very fine and unobtrusive hairline cracks towards the upper corner, and a small number of isolated stable cracks in a few places elsewhere. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
