Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is lighter in the original, particularly in the blue and dark grey areas.
Condition: This work is in good condition. There is very minor rubbing towards the extreme tip of the upper right corner, in the lower left corner and along the extreme lower right corner edge. There is minor canvas draw towards the top right corner. There is stable and sound craquelure to the thick area of yellow paint towards the top left edge and in the green triangle and brown painted areas towards the right edge. There is a small paint loss towards the centre left edge and a very small nick along the extreme lower left edge. No restoration is apparent under ultra-violet light.
