Peter Doig

Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the blue and yellow hues are much deeper and richer in the original. Condition: This work is in good condition. There is a superficial layer of dust adhering to the surface in places, most notably along the left and lower edges. There is a stable drying crack to the wood running vertically down the centre of the composition, as is visible in the catalogue illustration. There is scattered wear and losses to the silver paint around the outer edges of the wooden frame. There is no retouching apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
