Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is lighter, brighter and warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals some fine cracks to the areas of thick impasto and to the bottom right hand corner tip. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
