Condition
Colours:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is softer in the original, with a cleaner brighter white to the background.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is a faint stretcher mark 5 cm. in from the extreme edge of the canvas running around the circumference of the work. There are a number of very fine tension cracks to the extreme overturn edge, with associated specks of paint loss in places. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
