Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and the figure's skin tone tends more towards a soft pink in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is light wear to the left two corner tips. Close inspection reveals two very thin light vertical rub marks towards the lower left edge, and one towards the left of the figure's beard. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals a small spot of retouching towards the centre of the upper left quadrant.
