Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Upon very close inspection, there are two short faint rub marks; one towards the lower left corner on the left edge and another to the right of centre of the composition. There is a minute media accretion in the white pigment at the centre of the composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
