Acquired directly from the above by the present owner
Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is richer and deeper in the original, wtih more prominent pink in the flesh tones. The catalogue illustration also does not fully convey the metalic surface of the silver background.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are a few extremely fine surface dust fibres adhering to the work's surface, notably to the lower right corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
