Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and contains more cyan undertones in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a few small and unobtrusive intermittent spots of wear scattered on the extreme upper edge, a faint rubmark towards the upper edge and a pinprick-sized nick towards the centre of the composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
