Condition
Colours:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is much brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condiiton:
This work is in very good condition. There are three very small faint rub marks beneath the top left corner and a tiny spot of dirt to the extreme upper right corner of the composition. There is a faint brown media accretion adjacent to the upper right edge of the innermost green square and there are four very small rub marks below right of this. There is no restoration apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
