Condition
Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is richer and more vibrant.
Condition: This work is in good condition. There is a small patch of paint loss at the extreme bottom edge towards the right hand corner. There is minor stable craquelure to the brown semi-circular area of paint in the centre of the composition. All imperfections throughout are inheret to the artist's choice of medium and working process. No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
