Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the red is slightly darker in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is some light canvas draw towards the upper left corner. Very close inspection reveals some thin tension cracks running intermittently along the extreme outer edges, and a few networks of drying cracks to the black and red pigment. Further close inspection reveals a tiny and unobtrusive loss to the lower right corner. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals a small spot of restoration towards the centre of the lower red element.
