Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are some pressed impasto peaks in isolated places throughout. Very close inspection reveals some light rubbing to the lower right extreme overturn edge with some associated wear to the lower right corner tip. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
