Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original work.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Upon close inspection, there are several fibres adhering to the areas of red impasto on the right side of the figure's face. There are some very fine, stable drying craquelure to the thickest area of impasto in places throughout the figure, notably to the green pistachio pigment of the figure's jaw line and the navy blue/black of the hair. There are several tiny paint losses: one approximately 10 cm below the left eye; one towards the bottom right of the mouth below the centre of the composition and two to the centre of the lower left quadrant to the black and navy blue pigment of the hair. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
