Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and more vibrant. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the rich impasto surface present in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There top left and right extreme corner tips are very slightly worn. On very close examination some extremely fine superficial surface dust fibres have collected in the crevices of the thicker areas of paint throughout. No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
(check for broken impasto peakes when on view)
