Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is some wear along all four edges and corner tips with some associated rub marks in places. Very close inspection reveals a few very thin networks of drying cracks isolated to the white pigment and towards the centre of the composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
