Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is less blue in the original, tending more towards grey. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the rich surface texture present in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is a tiny speck of paint loss in the upper right corner tip. There are scattered small punctures to the canvas in places throughout, which are original to the work's execution and inherent to the artist's working method. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
