Condition
Colours:
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant with the pinky reds tending more towards bright cherry red in the original.
Condition:
The work is in very good condition. There is minor undulation to the lower left and right corners where the paper has slightly lifted from the canvas support. There is extremely light wear to the upper and lower right extreme corner tips, visible upon close inspection. There is a small circular watermark to the right side of the bottom edge, and a further small circular watermark to the left of the figure's torso, both visible upon close inspection only.
