Condition
Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is much richer and more vibrant in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a faint stretcher mark that runs along the circumference of the composition, approximately 3cm. from the outer edge. This is most notable along the left side of the composition, partly visible in the catalogue illustration. There is very faint craquelure in places in the background and below the figure's left ear.
