Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the tonality of the white pigment is slightly warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in good condition. There are a few very small losses to the edges in places. There are two light rub marks towards the centre of the right edge. There are very fine and stable hairline cracks in places, notably along the stretcher bar mark at the vertical axis. No restoration is visible under ultraviolet light.
