Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the actual work tends more to pure white. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a very faint finger mark at the centre of the top edge and also next to the upper left corner. There is a minute brown fly spot in the lower right corner tip and a spot of minor wear to the upper left corner. At the base of some nails there are tiny stable craquelure which are inherent to the artist's working process. All of the above are unobtrusive and are only visible upon very close inspection. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
