Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of light handling in places along the extreme outer edges. Close inspection reveals a small number of pinprick-sized and unobtrusive fly spots approximately 5cm from the centre of the right-facing edge. Very close inspection reveals very fine drying cracks in the coloured areas, which are in keeping the artist's choice of medium. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
