Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overal tonality is slightly lighter and brighter and there are less ochre undertones to the figure face in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals some very faint rub marks and tiny spots of wear in isolated places to all four extreme edges and towards all four corners. Further very close inspection reveals a few minute media accretions in isolated places throughout and a very short and faint rub mark to the centre right of the lower edge, which appears to have occurred when the paint was still wet. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
