Condition
Colours:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly deeper and richer in the original, the pale brown ochre in the lower right quadrant tends more towards true brown in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition and is composed of two canvases joined at the centre. The canvas is very light slack on the stretcher, likely to be due to the weight of the surface media to the centre of the work. There is slight canvas draw to the lower left corner and upper right corner, and a small undulation to the left side of the upper edge and another to the centre of the lower edge. There are further light canvas undulations to the lower left quadrant. There are scattered spots of light surface cracking in places across the central join between the two canvases and in places to the upper half of the work, visible in the catalogue illustration. A very minor intermittent stretcher mark with associated surface cracking is visible to the inside of the upper edge. Further small matrices of craquelure are visible upon close examination to thicker passages of paint throughout and there are a few instances of very slight paint shrinkage, including to the inside of the centre of the left edge and to places in the upper section of the work. Under ultraviolet light there is an oval area of irregular pigment to the centre-left side of the upper section which fluoresces slightly.
