Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly warmer and pinker in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Upon extremely close inspection there is a minute scratch to the lower right section of the lower right quadrant. There is a tiny media accretion at the bottom centre of the lower left quadrant just above the frame. The frame is in good condition. There are a few faint handling marks and a few faint rub marks notably to the bottom left and top right corners. There are a few scattered imperfections to the surface of the frame that are inherent to the artist's choice of medium.
