Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and warmer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Upon very close inspection and under raking light, there are a few light rub marks in the top right hand corner of the photograph and a few minute surface deposits in a few isolated places. A few extremely fine and unobtrusive scratches are visible in raking light in places around the artist's frame.
