Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly softer, with less prominent flesh tones to the face in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a small zig-zag shaped crease to the right of the figure's hat brim. There are a few further small creases above the centre on the right vertical edge. There are a few light handling marks to the extreme vertical edges and four very faint rectangular adhesive marks: one above and one below the centre of each vertical edge.
