Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the contrast is more subtle in the original. The catalogue illustration also fails to fully convey the sparkling nature of the diamond dust visible in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of light handling towards the edges. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
