Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly cooler in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals some very faint tension cracks to the extreme overturn edges, with some minute specks of associated loss, and a tiny rub mark to the top left hand corner tip. Further close inspection reveals a small speck of loss to the green pigment in the centre of the lower left quadrant. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
