Condition
Colours:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly deeper and richer in the original.
Condition:
The work is in very good condition. There is a very small paint loss to the lower left corner. An extremely small speck of material is adhering to the surface in the centre-right of the lower right quadrant (visible in the catalogue illustration). Upon close examination, there are a few extremely minor isolated matrices of fine craquelure in places throughout the composition. No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
