Condition
Colours:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly richer and deeper in the original.
Condition:
The work is in very good condition. The work is very slightly slack on its stretcher. There is minor canvas draw to the lower left corner and some very light horizontal undulations on either side of the sand impasto in the lower part, likely to be caused by the weight of the media.
There is an intermittent vertical line of wear along the lower central part of the right edge, visible in the catalogue illustration. There is a further light intermittent line of wear along the lower part of the left extreme edge, and spots of wear to the lower left, and upper right and left extreme corners. There are five circular irregularities to the paint surface above the central axis to the left side of the work, some of which are visible in the catalogue illustration. There are extremely light scattered horizontal crease lines to the canvas beneath the paint surface, to the upper section of the work visible upon close inspection only. No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
