Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly lighter in the original. Condition: This work is in good condition. Close inspection reveals some very faint rub marks in intermittent places along all four extreme edges. Further close inspection reveals some faint stretcher bar marks with very fine associated cracks in isolated places towards the edges, some very fine and unobtrusive networks of cracks in isolated places and some media accretions throughout, and two tiny specks of loss to the centre of the upper edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
