Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate although the overall tonality is lighter and brighter in the original Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are stretcher bar marks visible, most notably along the upper edge, which are in keeping with the artist's working process. Very close inspection reveals some light wear to the lower left corner tip. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
