Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there are more red undertones to the background in the original. The catalogue illustration also fails to fully convey the thick impasto apparent in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
