Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly cooler with less orange undertone in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some fine patterns of cracks throughout some of which have open slightly most notably towards the lower right of the composition.Further close inspection reveals some stretcher bar marks to all four edges and some undulation to the canvas in isolated places throughout. Very close inspection reveals a small loss to the lower right hand corner tip.No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra violet light.
