Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the printed catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is lighter and brighter in the original work.
Some areas present cracks some of which have resulted in paint losses scattered throughout the work. Under Ultra Violet light inspection there are some dots of restoration that fluoresce in the above mentioned areas, mainly located in the lower half of the work.
