Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a few tension cracks, rubbing and wear marks to the extreme edges some of which have associated losses most notably to the left extreme edge. Close inspection reveals slight undulation and stretcher marks to the upper and lower edges and a few media accretions in places most notably towards the lower left corner. Very close inspection reveals two tiny networks of cracks, one located 40 cm from the upper edge and 30 cm from the left edge; and one with a tiny associated loss to the lower left corner. Further close inspection reveals two tiny losses located towards the left edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
