Condition
Colours: 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. There are extremely light rub marks in three places along the top edge: one to the centre of the top edge, one to the extreme upper right hand corner and one towards the upper left hand corner. There are further very light rub marks to the lower left hand corner. Examination under ultra-violet light reveals a small patch of retouching to the top left hand corner of the central orange square.
