Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the light lime dot is richer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals some evidence of very light wear and handling to the edges, a few pin prick sized media accretions in isolated places and a very faint rub mark to the lower right quadrant. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
