Colours: Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a small chip to the longest tip of the figure's hair with associated paint loss and a further tiny chip at the bottom of the fugure's neck. There are two rub marks; one above the left and one above the right of the figure's ear. There are further small rub marks above both ears and a minute rub mark to the right of the figure's mouth. There is a small green media accretion towards the crown of the figure's head and a further very faint rub mark next to this. There is a tiny amount of paint loss to the very tip of the figure's nose.
