Condition
Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a fine hairline crack to the bottom right hand corner. Close inspection reveals a very fine and stable circular impact crack to the centre of the composition. There is a minute spot of paint loss to the red paint towards the top left hand corner. No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
