Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is softer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The canvas is slightly slack. There is some light wear in places along the left edge and to upper and lower left corner tips. All surface irregularities in the décollage are inherent to the artist's working process.
