Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some media and splash accretions in places throughout. Further close inspection reveals some tiny losses in isolated places throughout, most notably to the extreme edges and to the upper left hand corner tip. There is a short scratch to the lower right hand corner, which appears to be original. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
