Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is richer and more vibrant in the original, with greater saturation to the hues throughout. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is minor wear to all four corner tips. There is minor canvas draw to the centre of the top extreme edge and along the bottom edge. There is intermittent wear along the top extreme edge with a few tiny spots of paint loss in places, including to the lower centre of the left extreme edge. There are intermittent stretcher marks running parallel to the right extreme edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
