Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the green paint and red-striped background are slightly brighter in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals there are a number of stable drying cracks to the top right edge, one towards the middle of the bottom right edge, and another drying crack towards the centre bottom edge. No restoration is apparent under ultra violet light.
