Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although it fails to fully convey the textured areas of impasto visible in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a few unobtrusive pressed impasto peaks, with some pinprick sized specks of loss to some of the tips. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
