Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the white tends more towards pure white in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. On very close inspection there are two tiny surface irregularities to the black pigment above the centre towards the right extreme edge. There are extremely fine short diagonal surface cracks at each of the four corners of the artist frame (not illustrated in the catalogue). No restoration is apparent when examined with ultraviolet light.
