Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection in bright light reveals some minute drying cracks in places to the edges and to the left of the olive spot, which is three spots down from the top edge and three spots in from the right hand edge. Further extremely close inspection reveals some extremely light handling marks in places to the extreme overturn edges and a very faint and short rub mark to the left of the pale green spot towards the bottom left hand corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
