Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly pinker in the original. Condition: This work work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a few minute specks of loss to some of the impasto picks along the extreme upper horizontal edge and to the centre left of the composition. Further very extremely close inspection reveals some tiny spots of wear to the extreme lower right hand corner tip. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra violet light.
