Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original.
This work is in very good condition. There is minor wear to all four corner tips and in places along all four extreme edges. There are artist's pin holes in all four corners. There are scattered areas of drying cracks to some of the thicker areas of paint. There is a minute red rub mark towards the centre of the left half of the composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
