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. There is light wear in all four corners and some intermittent light wear along the edges of each canvas. Upon very close inspection, there are a few minute holes towards the centre of the composition and a further few to the centre of the left canvas along the top edge. There are two very light rub marks towards the lower right corner of the left canvas. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
