Condition
Colours:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly richer and deeper, the pervading orange hues throughout tend more towards ochre-brown in the original.
Condition (as viewed in the catalogue):
The work is in very good condition. The lower left and upper left corner tips are bending inwards slightly. There are a few isolated spots of surface skinning to the lower extreme edge. There are scattered tiny spots where the top layer of the surface is curling away from the board at intervals to the upper extreme edge. There are a few isolated pinhead-sized media accretions scattered throhgout the composition. No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
