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: The work is in very good condition. There are a few scattered small matrices of fine drying cracks and very slight shrinkage to parts of the green and blue pigments throughout, some of which are visible in the catalogue illustration (to the top of the green paint on the right side). No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
