Condition
Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer with the orange area tending more towards fluorescent orange in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is an extremely faint hairline crack approximately 3cm in length to the centre of the left vertical edge. There is a minute speck of paint loss to the impasto peak towards the centre of the top edge of the upper right quadrant. Both the above are only visible on extremely close inspection and no restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
