Colours:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is warmer in the original, with the skin tones tending more towards light pink and greater vibrancy to the metallic embroidery along the face.
Condition :
This work is in very good condition. There are some light undulations to the fabric in places which are inherent to the artist's working execution. There are some superficial specks of dust between the work and the glass and a minute media accretion 4cm in from the lower right corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
