Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although green towards the lower half of the composition is brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals some very light handling to the extreme outer edges. There are two repaired tears towards the lower left hand corner of the lower left quadrant, visible on the reverse, both of which are original to the work's execution. The canvas is slightly slack. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
