Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original, with the cream of the background tending more to true white. The catalogue illustration fails to convey the rich texture of the thicker impasto passages.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Some fine dust fibres have adhered to the work's surface, in particular to the recesses of the thicker impasto passages. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
