Condition

Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is warmer and richer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a tiny media accretion towards the centre of the left inside edge of the mount. There are scattered specks of dust throughout the work, notably in the upper left and right hand corner and along the all four edges, only visible upon very close inspection.
