Condition

Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is warmer and richer, with the Geisha's skin tending more towards pink. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a little bit of wear to the lower right corner of the composition and a faint horizontal line of approximately 20cm to the centre-left of the lower left quadrant. There is some tiny paper residue found to the lower left corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
