Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good and original condition. Close inspection reveals a minute media accretion towards the centre of the upper edge, which might be original. All other surface irregularities are inherent to the artist's choice of medium and working process. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
