Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly lighter in the original.
Condition:
This work is in good condition. Very close inspection reveals three small and unobtrusive chips towards the upper left edge. There is craquelure to the glazing of the work, which is inherent to the artist's choice of materials. There is a restored crack towards the right edge of the work, which is visible on the reverse.
