Condition
Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is deeper in the orginal.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a number very small and stable fine drying cracks to the body, which are inherent to the artist's choice of media.
