Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in good condition. Very close inspection reveals a few very thin and unobtrusive tension cracks running intermittently along the extreme outer edges, a few extremely faint handling marks as well as short and isolated abrasions towards the edges. There are light media accretions scattered in places, notably towards the lower centre of the composition as well as a faint horizontal impression running parallel to the lower edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
