Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly lighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a few tiny media accretions in isolated places. Further close inspection reveals a tiny loss towards the lower left edge, and two short and unobtrusive scratches with associated tiny specks of loss, one to the centre left edge and one towards the centre of the composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
