Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the figure's lips tend more towards a fuchsia pink in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is wear and hairline drying cracks in places along all four edges. There are light impact marks to the left of the bridge of the nose and to the left of the figure's left shoulder. Ultraviolet light reveals two spots of artist's retouching towards the top left hand corner.
