Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there are more red undertones in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals some thin drying cracks to the lower edge, predominantly to the left side, and a small network of cracks 5 cm. from the lower edge and 15 cm. from the left edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
