Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There are a few fine tension cracks in places along all four overturn edges. There are two faint rub marks to the top left and right corners. There is an irregularity to the stretcher in the lower left corner, resulting in a shallow indentation to the canvas. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
