Condition
The image reproduction is slightly redder in toning than the deeper richer colours of the actual work. The canvas is framed by an aluminium frame and the canvas edges cannot be viewed. There is minor paint loss across the canvas, whcih does not detract from the overall appearance of the work. The painting is in very good condition consistent with age and use.
