Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The canvas is slightly slack. Very close inspection reveals some tiny media accretions in isolated places throughout and some very faint rub marks in intermittent places along all four extreme edges. Further very close inspection reveals a tiny scratch with a speck of associated loss to the centre of the lower edge and a tiny loss to the extreme lower right hand corner tip. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
