Condition
Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. The two shades of green in the upper left corner tend more towards grass green and forest green in the original. The green to the right of the centre of the composition tends more towards pale mint green in the original.
Condition:
There is a small paint loss beneath the centre mid-point of the composition. There are two tiny and unobtrusive pinhead-sized losses to the peak of impasto paint in the extreme lower left corner. The upper left extreme corner tip is slightly rubbed. No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
