Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the three dimensionality of the relief apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There are scattered small media accretions throughout and the fabric has discoloured unevenly over time. There is some light canvas draw in the top left corner and some light wrinkling to the canvas in the lower left corner. There are a few minor stains and surface dirt to the fabric around the edges.
