Condition

Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the original is more saturated. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection in raking light reveals shallow and unobtrusive surface scratches, and a further short scratch to the center right of the composition, approximately 10cm. from the edge of the image.
