Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although blue more vibrant and paper tone tends more towards warm white in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a minute, very faint and unobtrusive pinprick-sized media accretion towards the centre of the composition, and some very short, thin and stable hairline cracks in the thicker spot if paint towards the lower centre of the composition.
