Condition

Colour: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer with the orange tending more towards burnt orange in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is canvas draw in the lower left corner and some wear to the edges, notably the top edge. There is a very faint rub mark to the extreme right hand edge towards the bottom right hand corner. There is no retouching apparent when examined under ultra-violet.
