Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is softer in the original, with the blue tending more towards sky blue. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are some stable drying cracks scattered in places, most notably to the left section of composition, all of which are faintly visible in the catalogue illustration and inherent to the artist's working process. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
