Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Close inspection reveals evidence of light wear and handling to the corner tips and intermittently along the edges. Extremely close inspection reveals very thin, stable and unobtrusive hairline cracks to the thicker yellow pigment towards the lower half of the composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
