Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the rich surface texture apparent in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Upon close inspection there are a few isolated material fibres adhering to the canvas surface, including to the left of centre above the lower edge and in the top right quadrant above the red sand impasto. Some extremely fine surface dust is adhering to the crevices of the impasto area. There are two extremely fine rub marks; one adjacent to the centre of the left edge, and the other above the centre of the lower edge. A short, fine stretcher mark is visible on close inspection in the lower right corner. There are two extremely light drip marks in the lower part of the top left quadrant. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
